Notes for tow-starting or towing

If a cable is used for towing the vehicle, please observe the

following:

As the driver of the towing vehicle

– Switch on the hazard warning lights. However, observe any regu-

lations to the contrary.

– Drive slowly at first until the tow-rope is taut. Then accelerate

gradually.

– Begin and change gears cautiously. If you are driving an auto-

matic vehicle, accelerate gently.

– Remember that the brake servo and power steering are not

working in the vehicle you are towing. Brake earlier than you

would normally, but with a more gentle pressure on the brake.

As the driver of the vehicle being towed

– Switch on the hazard warning lights. However, observe any regu-

lations to the contrary.

– Place the gearstick in neutral or position N.

– Ensure that the tow-rope remains taut at all times.

Tow-rope or tow-bar

It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow-bar. You should only use a

tow-rope if you do not have a tow-bar.

A tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the loading on both vehicles.

It is advisable to use a tow-rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic

material.

Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the towing eyes provided or a

towing bracket.

Driving tips

Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow-rope. Both

drivers should be familiar with the technique required for towing. Inexperi-

enced drivers should not attempt to tow-start or tow away another vehicle.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and take care to avoid jerking the

tow-rope. When towing on an unpaved road, there is always a risk of over-

loading and damaging the anchorage points.

The ignition of the vehicle being towed must be switched on to prevent the

steering wheel from locking and also to allow the use of the turn signals,

horn, windscreen wipers and washers.

If the vehicle is towed, with the hazard warning lights on and the ignition

switched on, the turn signal may be used to indicate that you are going to

change direction. Move the turn signal lever accordingly. Meanwhile, the

hazard warning lights will go off. When the turn signal lever is returned to the

rest position, the hazard warning lights will automatically reconnect.

The brake servo works only when the engine is running. In this case the pedal

has to be pressed harder.

As the power assisted steering does not work if the engine is not running, you

will need more strength to steer than you normally would.

Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox

•Move the selector lever to N.

•Do not drive faster than 50 km/h when towing a vehicle.

•Do not tow further than 50 km.

•If a breakdown truck is used, the vehicle must be towed with the front

wheels raised.
