Loosening the wheel bolts
– Push the wheel spanner as far as possible onto the wheel bolt
as shown and turn the spanner anti-clockwise
⇒fig. 137. When
doing this, grip the spanner as far as possible towards the lever
end.
If the bolts cannot be loosened, one can in an emergency, carefully
push the spanner down with a foot on the end of the lever. One
should ensure that one has a firm stance and a good grip on the
vehicle.
Loosen wheel bolts about one turn.

General notes
• Check whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning
the towing of vehicles.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to use synthetic fibre
ropes, or ropes of similar elastic material. It is however safer to use
a towing bar!
Avoid excessive towing effort and do not jerk. During towing
operations on other than surfaced roadsthere is always the danger
that the attachment points will be overloaded and damaged.

• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must
engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow-
rope is always taut.
• The emergency lights must be switched on in both vehicles –
unless local regulations differ.
• Turn ignition on so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the windscreen wiper and washer
can be used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running,
considerably more pressure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running.
• More force than usual will be required to turn the steering wheel
as the power assisted steering does not work when engine is not
running.

the vehicle may only be towed with driving wheels lifted.
A tow-rope or a towing bar must only be applied at the following
points.

If the car has to be towed, first you will have to remove the right
cover of the inferior part of the front bumper, taking out the A
bolt.
Afterwards, you will have to screw in the towing eye located in the
vehicle’s toolbox turning the eye

points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous page:
• Selector lever at “N N

• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.

Fuel Consumption
The consumption and emission levels were calculated using the
93/116/CE measuring standards and take into account the true
free-standing weight of the vehicle (weight category). To measure
the fuel consumption the vehicle is tested in two different cycles

• The consumption and emission levels given in the following tables are
correct for unloaded vehicles with basic fittings. If there are extra
fittings, the empty weight will increase and, as a result, the weight
category, which may slightly increase the consumption and CO
2levels.
Consult a Technical Service Centre to find out the exact specifications of
your vehicle.
• Driving style, road and traffic conditions, weather conditionsand the
condition of the vehicle will, in practice, produce consumption levels
different to those indicated.
