WASHING THE CAR
After using the vehicle off-road (with sig-
nificant contact of wheels, bodywork, be-
low-engine covers and underbody pro-
tection), please remember that you should
always wash it, cleaning the radiators care-
fully (engine cooling and conditioner), the
radiator fan, the wheels (rims and wheel-
houses), the protection covers below the
engine and underbody. This will help pre-
serve correct radiator operation in addi-
tion to ensuring good ventilation of the
brake discs and perfect balance of the
wheels. It will also guarantee that the
transmission shaft functions correctly.

The vehicle can only be towed in one of
the following ways (and always with the
engine off, gear set to neutral and hand
brake off):
- with the 4 wheels on the road base;
- with the front wheels raised or resting
on an emergency vehicle and the rear
wheels resting on a specific trolley;
- with the rear wheels raised or resting on
an emergency vehicle and the front wheels
resting on a specific trolley;
- loaded on the platform of the emergency
means, with all 4 wheels on the platform.
TOWING TRAILERS

hicle use at maximum tow capacity on
slopes, please replace engine oil more fre-
quently (every 10,000 km).

sions for the installation of the tow hook,
