AYGO_OM_Europe_OM99Q24E
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
Take out the towing eyelet. ( P. 400, 413)
Push the lower left of the eyelet
cover and then open it.
Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by
hand.
Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel bolt
wrench or hard metal bar.
To prevent damaging the front
bumper, wrap the wheel bolt
wrench with a rag as shown in the
illustration.
