FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not
to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific
rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.
WARNING

WARNING
Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is
fully fastened in the seat before tow-
ing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
