Towing Fig. 53
Fig. 54
The towline anchorages are located under
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen

tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.
Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.
Towline anchorages

rages.
