FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 164)

WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsory to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid bar),
to move the vehicle on the road in readiness
for towing or transport via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. Respecting the above
conditions, towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned
as much as possible along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.
