Towing the vehicle

Tow fitting

The tow fitting, which can be

unscrewed, is in the luggage compart-

ment under the floor panel and must

remain in the vehicle. This fitting

is designed for installation in the tow

sockets located at the front and rear of

the vehicle. It is intended for towing on

paved road surfaces only.

It should not be used to pull a vehicle

out of deep snow, mud, sand, etc.

Comply with all applicable towing laws

and regulations at all times.

Access to tow sockets

Front:

Press out the cover panel with a screw-

driver above on the recess.

Rear:

Press out the cover panel with a screw-

driver above on the recess.

Screw the tow fittings in until they

are tight. If you do not, the threads

could be damaged.

Do not tow the vehicle by any compo-

nents of the running gear, or lash them

down in any way. If you do, the compo-

nents could be damaged, leading to

possible accidents.<

Keep the vehicles in line and avoid

towing at an offset angle. Ensure

that the tow rope connecting the two

vehicles is tight, with no slack, before

starting off.<

Use only a nylon towing strap to tow

the vehicle, since the inherent resil-

ience of this material helps protect both

vehicles from sudden jerking move-

ments.

The towed vehicle should always

be the lighter of the two vehicles.

If this is not the case, it will not be

possible to control vehicle handling.<

Tow-starting

For instructions on jump-starting, refer

to page 131.

Never attempt to use your vehicle to

push another vehicle, since damage to

the energy-absorbing bumpers could

result.
