EMERGENCY TOWING
For emergency towing when a towing service is not available,
your vehicle is equipped with the towing hooks under the front
and rear of the vehicle for use with a tow rope.
When towing your vehicle with the tow rope:
• Secure the rope to both of the towing hooks under the front
of the vehicle as tight as possible.
• To recognize the towing rope, bind a white colored cloth on
the center of the rope.
• Switch on the hazard warning flasher of both vehicles.
• Place the gearshift lever in neutral and release the parking
brake.
• Set the ignition in the ON position to release the steering
column lock and to permit the operation of brake lamps,
horn and windshield wipers.
• Only the driver should be in the towed vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
• To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from the towing
vehicles, close the windows and place the air intake lever
to the recirculation mode.
• Drive off slowly and avoid jerky movements.
• The distance between the towing vehicle and the towed
vehicle shouldn’t be over 25 m and tow the vehicle within
25 km with 5 km/h of towing speed. The length of a rope
should be less than 5 m.
