Use the Vehicle Tow Hook of
the Tool Kit
CAUTION!
The tow hook should only be used for
towing the car on flat roads. Do not
use the tow hook to remove the car
that is stuck on off road stretches.
The tow hook can also be used to tow
the
vehicle on the platform of a tow
truck.
It is necessary to inform the operators
of the rescue vehicle about the vehicle
minimum height to avoid, during its
loading, any contact of the lower ends
of the front or rear bumper with the
tow truck loading ramp.
The tow hook is contained in the tool
kit (see “Tool Kit” in this section) and
must be screwed in its seat accessible
behind the front grille, right-hand
side.
• Remove the protective cap by levering with the tip of a screwdriver
in the point shown in picture. • Carefully clean the threaded seat
before screwing the hook.
• Screw the tow hook into its seat for at least 11 turns.
NOTE:
Maximum work angle of towing cable
or bar: 15°.
Fuel Cut-out Inertia Switch
The vehicle is equipped with a safety
switch which activates in the event of
a collision, cutting off the fuel supply
and consequently causing the engine
to stop. It also prevents fuel spreading
if the fuel lines are damaged during
the accident.
Activation of the safety switch is
signaled by the illumination of the
warning light on the instrument
cluster display.
The switch is positioned underneath
the driver seat.
In order to operate the inertia switch,
lift the seat in the highest position.
WARNING!
After a collision, if you smell fuel or
note any leakage from the fuel supply
system, do not reactivate the switch
in order to prevent any fire risks.
The activation of the inertia switch
causes
all the doors and the trunk lid
to unlock, the lighting of the internal
domelight and the hazard warning
flashers.
