Towing information
NOTE: If the differential is damaged:
– Hoist the vehicle at the rear and lock the steering wheel in the
straight-ahead position.
Installing the towing eye
Remove the front plate cover plate at
the left-hand or right-hand side by
pulling it forward (A).
1. Remove the rubber cover.
2. Screw in the towing eye fully so the
entire thread is used.
3. Then turn the towing eye anti-
clockwise (maximum 90 degrees)
so the towing bar can be attached to
the towing eye.
The maximum GVW the towing eye
may pull is 40 tons.
NOTE: To lift the vehicle two towing eyes must be used and both pins must
be perpendicular to the lifting cable or chain. Turn the towing eyes anti-
clockwise (maximum 180 degrees) to achieve this position.
Towing by a recovery vehicle
If the vehicle is being towed by a recovery vehicle, the vehicle can only be hoisted
under its rear axle. Lock the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
CAUTION: Do not hoist the vehicle under its front axle with the prop
shaft still connected.
– If the vehicle is being towed by a recovery vehicle and the rear axle
(driven axle) is still in contact with the road surface, the high-
voltage components can be seriously damaged.
