Practical hints
Towing the vehicle
Warning! G
If circumstances require towing the vehicle
with all wheels on the ground, always tow
with a tow bar if:
ț the engine will not run
ț there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply or in the vehicle’s electrical system
Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on
the ground, make sure the key is in steering
lock position 2.
If the key is left in steering lock position 0
for an extended period of time, it can no
longer be turned in the switch. In this case,
the steering is locked. To unlock, remove
key from steering lock and reinsert.

in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the
vehicle. Adapt your driving accordingly.
