TOWING THE VEHICLE:
• For towing a car, the best way is to use a
wrecker. Alternatively use a rigid tow bar.
• Avoid using a flexible cable or rope as your
car may crash into the car towing your car
when it stops suddenly.
• Switch ‘ON’ the hazard warning signals of
both the cars to warn other road users.
• Where possible, keeps the engine idling so
that power steering assistance and brake
vacuum are available.
• Limit the speed to 20-30 Kmph.
• In case of brake failure, use the parking brake
to control the car.
