tow bar Alfa Romeo 4C 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
115) Before towing, turn the ignition
key to MAR-ON and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered. Also
check that the gearbox/
transmission is in neutral (N).
116) When towing, remember that
the assistance of the brake servo
is absent. Consequently, more
force is required at the pedal
in order to brake. Do not
use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. Make
sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car while towing.
When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic
regulations, both in terms of the
towing device and behaviour
on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the car.
Before tightening the ring, clean
the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before
towing the car.117) The tow hook must be used
exclusively for roadside
assistance operations. You are
allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the
road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables
or other non-rigid devices. In
compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take
place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned
as much as possible along the
same centre line.
