For vehicles with both manual and automatic transmissions, release the handbrake. Place the transmission shift lever in neutral and turn the steering wheel lock key to the "ACC(I)" position. Towing regulations require that the vehicle being towed have its wheels raised off the ground!
If the vehicle is severely damaged, use wheel dollies to tow it with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle can only be towed forward with four wheels on the ground. In this case, do not exceed a speed of 56 km/h and a distance of more than 80 km, otherwise the gearbox may be damaged.
Caution: Do not tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground. This may damage the internal components of the transmission.
(For 4-wheel drive vehicles only)
When the vehicle is front-end gripping and its front wheels are off the ground, make sure each of the rear wheels follows in a straight line.

If the towing speed exceeds 56 km/h, or if the distance exceeds 80 km, use one of these two methods:
- 1. Place the front wheels on the cart.
- 2. Tow with the front wheels raised.
Attention:
- The following points are important when towing a four-wheel drive vehicle on the ground. Remember that the gearshift lever must be in neutral, the steering wheel lock key must be in the "ACC(I)" position, and the handbrake must be released. Remember also that the power brake and steering system does not function because the engine is not running.
- If you use towing eyes, be careful about the position of the towing rope. To avoid damage to the cable or eye, do not make strong or sudden jerks while driving.
- The rear eye should only be used in case of emergency (for example, to pull a car out of a ditch, snow or mud)
