General instructions
For versions with mechanical key, before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to RUN and then to STOP, without extracting. Removing the key automatically engages the steering lock, making it impossible to steer the wheels. Also check that the transmission is placed in neutral (for versions with automatic transmission verify that the lever is in N). For versions with electronic key, move the ignition switch on RUN and then to STOP, without opening the door. When towing, remember that without the help of the brake booster and the electromechanical power steering to brake, it is necessary to exert more force on the pedal and steering is required more energetic action on the steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables for towing and avoid jerks. During towing operations make sure that fastening the joint to the car does not damage the components in contact. When towing the car you must comply with the specific traffic regulations, relating to both the towing device, both the behavior very to keep on the road.
