it is turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well. Under no circumstances should af-
termarket operations be carried out involving steer-

installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance with type-ap-
proval requirements.
