WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control remains
docked whilst the vehicle is being
towed. Removing the remote control will
engage the steering lo ck, which will prevent
the vehicle from steering correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be no
power assistance for the steering or brakes.
This will result in grea ter effort being required
to steer or slow the vehicle, and greatly
increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground. Towing in a reverse direction with
two wheels on the ground will result in serious
damage to the transmission.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 80 km (50 miles), at a
maximum speed of 80 k m/h (50 mph). Towing
for a greater distance, or at a higher speed may
result in serious dama ge to the transmission.
