Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig­nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen washer can work. Ensure that the steering wheel is unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles with a manual gearbox. With an automatic gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The brake servo does not work when the engine is switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni­tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does not damage the vehicle.
