WARNING
Before starting to tow, disen-

WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks
should only be used on the
roads for emergency operations. Tow-
ing is permitted for short journies us-
ing the special device that conforms to
the highway code (rigid bar) to move
the vehicle onto the road in prepara-
tion for towing or transportation on
a special vehicle. The hooks should
NOT be used for recovering the vehi-
cle away from the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing using
cables or other non rigid devices. With
regard to the above conditions, tow-
ing should take place with the two ve-
hicles (the one towing and the one be-
ing towed) aligned as closely as possi-
ble along the same centre line axis.
