Emergency towing
122
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the
vehicle are designed for vehicle recovery
purposes only and must NOT be used to tow a
trailer or caravan.
FRONT: Use ONLY when the vehicle is to be
towed with ALL four wheels on the ground
(see ’Towing the vehicle on four-wheels’).
REAR: Use ONLY when towing another
vehicle.
Long distance towing
Your vehicle can be towed behind a
motorhome or other recreational vehicle.
Follow the procedure for towing the vehicle on
four wheels.
Towing the vehicle on four-wheels
WARNING
Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel
drive and is fitted with a steering lock. The
following instructions must be carried out
carefully to prevent damage to the vehicle.
First, select transfer neutral as follows:
• Make sure the gear selector lever is in ’P’
(Park).
• Remove the starter key, then insert a fuse
(5 amps or greater) in fuse position 11 in
the right hand seat fuse box. Insert key
and turn the starter switch on; the transfer
box will automatically select neutral (wait
until the message centre displays
’TRANSFER NEUTRAL’), then turn the
starter switch off.
• Turn the starter switch to position ’I’ to
unlock the steering, and then to position
’II’ if it is necessary to operate the brake
lights and direction indicators. Leave in
this position while the vehicle is being
towed.
• Leave the gear selector lever in ’P’ (Park)
at all times while the vehicle is being
towed.
• To re-engage HIGH or LOW range after
towing, turn the starter switch off, remove
the fuse from position 11, then turn the
starter switch on - the transfer box will
engage the HIGH or LOW gear range.
NOTE: If, due to an accident or electrical
fault, it is considered unsafe to turn the starter
switch, the battery must be disconnected.
