EMERGENCY
fig. 41 F0M0366m
IMPORTANT For the Sport versions, take
care not to damage the side skirts when
raising the car side-on with the workshop
lifting device.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the carpet
in the boot.
FASTENING THE TOW RING
fig. 44-45
Proceed as follows:
❒ release the cap A;
❒ take the tow ring B from its support;
❒ screw the ring onto the rear or front
threaded pin.
The brake booster and pow-
er steering will not work
while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more
force to the brake pedal and steering
wheel. Do not use bendy cables for
towing and avoid jerking. Make sure
not to damage parts in contact with
the car while towing. Respect the
rules of the highway code when tow-
ing the car, specifically in relation to
the towing device and road conduct.
