designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and MUST not be used to tow a
trailer or caravan. |

: This towing/lashing eye should only be used for towing another vehicle
or for recovery purposes to enable this vehicle to be positioned in order
that the front towing eye may be used for recovery/towing.
|
: Suspended towing of this vehicle MUST NOT be attempted, if 4 wheel
towing is not possible, vehicle must be recovered on a suitable trailer.
|
: The vehicle may be towed for a maximum of 3 hours or 90 miles (150 km)
at a maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h), these limits MUST NOT be exceeded.
|
: The following procedures must be followed to ensure that the vehicle is
towed in a safe condition and damage to the vehicle transmission system is
prevented. |
: Ensure that the towing attachment will not contact the front bumper
during towing. |
: If 'N' - Neutral cannot be selected, front and rear propeller shafts
must be removed before vehicle is towed. |
| If electrical power is not available, use the manual interlock release tab on the selector lever to move the selector lever to the Neutral position. |
: If electrical power is not available, and 'H' - HIGH cannot be selected,
the vehicle may not be towed but must be recovered on a suitable trailer.
If, however, transfer box was in 'H' - HIGH when electrical power was
lost, vehicle may still be towed. |
| If electrical power is not available, it will be necessary to release the parking brake manually using the following procedures: |

: The electric parking brake will not function until electrical power is
restored it will, therefore, be necessary to chock the wheels when vehicle
is at a standstill. |
: Do not release the parking brake until towing is about to commence.
Whilst towing, do not attempt to remove the ignition key and do not turn
the key to any position other than 'II'. With the engine switched off, the
power assisted steering system and brake booster will be inoperative
thereby resulting in an increase in the effort required to turn the
steering wheel and apply the brakes. |
: The vehicle tow connections should only be used in normal road
conditions, 'snatch' recovery must be avoided.
|
: Use the towing/lashing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle, DO NOT
secure lashing hooks or restraints to any other part of the vehicle.
|
: If electrical power is not available and the parking brake is released,
it will not be possible to re-apply the parking brake. It will, therefore
be necessary to select 1st gear - manual gearbox or 'P' Park - automatic
gearbox and ensure that the vehicle wheels are adequately chocked to
prevent vehicle movement. |
