IF THE VEHICLE IS TO BE TOWED
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is
housed in the tool box under the boot
mat.
To install the tow ring, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Take the tow ring from the tool box.
– Remove the cover (A) snap-fitted on
the front (fig. 55) or rear (fig. 56)
bumper. To do this, using the flat-bladed
screwdriver provided, protect the tip with
a soft cloth to avoid damaging the car.– Firmly screw the ring in its housing.
fig. 55 - front
A0A0650b
fig. 56 - rear
A0A0670b
Before tightening the
ring carefully clean the
threaded housing. Before
beginning to tow the car, make
sure that the ring is firmly tight-
ened in its threaded housing.
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and back to STOP,
again without removing it.
Removing the key automatically
engages the steering lock result-
ing in the impossibility to steer
the wheels. When towing
remember that without the help
of the engine brake and power
steering greater effort is required
on the pedal and steering wheel.
Do not use flexible cables for
towing and avoid jerks. During
towing operations make sure
that fastening the joint to the car
does not damage the components
in contact with it. When towing
the car, it is compulsory to follow
specific traffic regulations con-
cerning both the towing device
and behaviour on the road.

IN AN EMERGENCY
245
Take care when position-
ing the arms of the lift or
workshop lift to avoid
damaging the side strips.
USING AN ARM LIFT OR
WORKSHOP LIFT
The vehicle should be lifted only at the
side, setting the end of the arms or the
workshop lift in the illustrated areas, at
approx. 40 cm from the wheelhouse pro-
file (fig. 57).These areas are highlighted by the sym-
bol
▼on the lower part of the side mem-
ber.
The car may fall if the
jack is not positioned cor-
rectly. Never use the jack
for higher capacities than the one
stated on the label.
IMPORTANTFor versions with
Selespeed transmission, make sure that
the gears are in neutral (N) (checking
that the vehicle moves if pushed) and
then proceed as for towing a normal car
with mechanical transmission, following
the instructions given previously.
Should it be impossible to set the gears
to neutral, do not tow the car and contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.Do not start the engine
when towing the car.
