TOW RING HOOKING fig. 46-47
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.

When towing, remember that
without the help of the ser-

vobrake and power steering, a greater
effort is required on the pedal and
steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles for towing and avoid jerks. During
towing operations make sure that fas-
tening the joint to the car does not
damage the components in contact
with it. When towing the car, you must
comply with the specific traffic regu-
lations regarding the tow ring and how
to tow on the road.
