CAUTION
● The to w
ing eye must always be completely
and firmly tightened. Otherwise, it could be
released while towing and tow-starting.
● If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
tow
ing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with
a tow bar if this has been specially designed
to be installed with a tow hitch. If an unsuita-
ble tow bar is used, both the tow hitch and
the vehicle may be damaged. Instead, a tow
rope should be used. Driving tips for towing
Towing requires some expertise and experi-
enc
e, e
s

pecially when using a tow rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the difficulties
involved in towing. For this reason, inexper-
ienced drivers should abstain from towing.
During towing, it should be ensured that no
impermissible tractive forces or shocks are
generated. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading
and damaging the anchorage points.
During towing, the towing vehicle can signal
the change of direction even with the hazard
warning lights turned on. To do so, at the
same time, the turn signal lever must be op-
erated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile,
the hazard warning lights will go off. When
the turn signal lever is returned to the rest position, the hazard warning lights will be
automatic

ally reactivated.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle ● Leave the ignition on, so that the steering
is not
blocked, and the electronic parking
brake may be deactivated and the turn sig-
nals and wash/wipe operated.
● More strength is required at the steering
wheel as
the power steering does not oper-
ate when the engine is switched off.
● You should depress the brake much harder
as the br
ake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions in the m
anual of the vehicle to be tow-
ed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● Accelerate with particular care and caution.
Avoid sh
arp manoeuvres.
● Brake earlier than usual and smoothly.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions in the m
anual of the towed vehicle. Fuses and bulbs
F u
se

s
Introduction In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electric
al

components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give seriou s

electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion syst
em.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrica
l system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a c urr

ent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury. 102

● Alw a

ys carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and refit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to avoid
the entry of
dust or humidity. Dirt and humid-
ity inside fuse boxes can cause damage to
the electrical system. Engine compartment fuses
