WARNING
Do not start the engine when towing the car.
WARNINGWhile the car is being towed with the
engine off, remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require more
effort as you no longer have the benefit
of the brake booster and the electrical
power steering. Do not use flexible cables
to tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst towing,
ensure that the coupling to the car does
not damage the surrounding components.
When towing the car, you must comply
with the specific traffic regulations
regarding the tow hitch and how to tow
on the road. TOW RING HOOKING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow ring (B) from its support;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.

Before starting to tow, turn the ignition
key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not
remove the key. If the key is removed, the
steering lock engages automatically which
prevents the wheels being turned.

Upholstery of your car has been designed
to withstand wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or
continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metallic buckles, studs,
Velcro fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress of the
cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking, and damage the cover as a
consequence.

neutral non-abrasive detergent. Remove grease or
persistent stains with appropriate products designed
to preserve the appearance of components.
