WARNING:
Without the engine running, the brake
servo and power steering pump cannot
provide assistance: greater effort will
therefore be required to operate the
brake pedal and turn the steering
wheel. Longer stopping distances will
also be experienced.
The removable towing eye is primarily for
emergency use when towing for short
distances, e.g. removing the vehicle if it is
causing an obstruction or for winching the
vehicle onto a recovery transporter. To
prevent damage while the vehicle is being
towed with the rear wheels on the ground,
towing distance must be restricted to
0.8 kilometres (0.5 miles). Towing speed
must not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph).
When being towed, the transmission must
be in neutral (N) with the ignition system
switched to convenience mode to
release the steering lock and render the
indicators, horn and brake lights
operational.
