FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
❒ release the cap A;
❒ take the tow hook B from the sup-
port;
❒ tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not
to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific
rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.

ing the car.

lock before towing (see “Ig-
