The maximum towing weight must not exceed 1 778 kilogranunes
(35 cwt) •
NOTE The energy absorbing bumpers fitted to cars built for
use in North America should not be fitted with any
form of towing attachment or used as a load bearing
member whilst towing.
2 In order to maintain optimum pressure in both power braking
systems of the towed vehicle, it is necessary to run the
engine. However, as running the engine at idling speeds
for prolonged periods is not recommended it is essential
that where cars are towed for a prolonged period a solid tow
bar or a suspended towing apparatus is used.
3 The above-mentioned cars can be towed at speeds up to 72 kph
(45 mph) for distances of up to 80 kilometers (50 miles).
For faster speeds or longer distances the propeller shaft must
be disconnected or the rear wheels raised from the ground.
4 When towing, always ensure that the transmission is in Neutral.
