gg Jacking, lifting & Vehicle Recovery
2.2.4 Transporting
If thevehicle is being transported on a trailer or flatbed transporter (Fig. I), the handbrake must be applied, the wheels
chocked and if fitted with an automatic transmission, the gear selector lever moved to neutral, 'N' (see Gear-shift
Interlock).

Fig. 1
CAUTION: Do not select 'P' because the parking lock mechanism may be damaged by the continuous slight forward
and backward movement of the vehicle on the transporter.
There are four tie-down brackets on the vehicle underbody. Do not attach the tie down hooks of the transporter to the
towing eyes of the vehicle.
2.2.5 Towing Recovery
Adhereto local regulationsforthetowing ofvehicles. In certain countriesthe registration number ofthetowing vehicle
and an 'ON TOW sign or warning triangle must be displayed in a prominent position at the rear of the vehicle which
is being towed.
WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE
IS NOT RUNNING, THE STEERING AND BRAKES WILL NO LONGER BE

HEAVY STEERING AND THE NEED FOR GREATLY
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE.

*The vehicle may be towed by another for a SHORT DISTANCE ONLY (maximum
0,8km / O.Smile), with the gear lever
in neutral (N) provided that a speed of 48 km / h (30 mile / h) is not exceeded.
2.2.6
The vehicle must be towed with the rear wheels clear of the ground, see suspended towing.

@ Steering
10.1.3 Steering Hydraulic System Major Components
Engine driven rotary vane pump (belt driven 12 cylinder; direct drive from timing gear 6 cylinder) with falling
flow characteristic (as
pump speed increases fluid flow decreases) and integral pressure relief valve.
Remote fluid reservoir with integral 'return' side filter.
Steering rack (incorporating speed sensitive transducer).
Steering control module
(SCM).
Fluid cooler integral with engine coolant radiator and associated pipe-work.
10.1.4 Hydraulic System Features
The 'Servotronic' system reduces steering input loads during parking and low speed manoeuvres and progressively
increases input loads as vehicle speed rises. This feature enhances steering feel.
10.1.5
Rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted, via the steering gear pinion to lateral motion of the rack. Hydraulic
assistance is provided by pressurized fluid being directed against the rack bar piston in the rack cylinder. The pressure
applied to each side of the rack piston is controlled by the pinion valve which varies the restriction through which the
flow for each side of the rack piston must pass.
