Notes on driving while towing
l"""('n First read and observe the introductory L-Jo:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 446.
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar with the technique required for towing. lnexper· ienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
When driving, remember not to pull too hard on the towing vehicle and take care to avoid jerking movements. When towing on an unpaved road, there is always a risk of overloading and damaging the anchorage points.
lt is still possible to activate the turn signals in a ve-hicle that is being towed, even if the hazard warn-ing lights are switched on. To do this, operate the

• When you have finished towing, turn the towing eye clockwise to remove it and fit the cover.
• If necessary clean the towing eye and place them back in the vehide toolkit in the luggage compartment.

The towing eye must always be screwed firmly Into the mounting. Otherwise, the towing eye can be ripped out of the mounting when the ve-hicle Is being tow-started or towed.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle:
• Leave the ignition switched on so that the turn signals, horn, wipers and windscreen washer sys-tem can be switched on.
• As the power steering does not work if the en-gine is not running, you will need more strength to steer the vehicle than you normally would. .,.
