Towing the vehicle

The towing eye is located at the front of the

vehicle on the right behind a flap in the

bumper vent.

Disengage flap at top and fold down.

Attach a tow rope 3 – or better still a tow

rod 3 – to the eye.

Switch on ignition to release steering

column lock and to permit operation of

brake lamp s, horn and w indscreen wipers.

Set the gear shift lever to neutral or, with

automatic transmission 3, set the selector

lever to N .

Drive off slowly and avoid jerky

movem ents. Impe rmissible tractive f orce s

could damage the vehicles.

Switch on automatic air circulation and

close the windows to prevent exhaust

emissions from the towing vehicle entering

your vehicle.

Vehicles with automatic tra nsmission 3

should be towed facing forwards only and

must not be tow ed faster than 50 mph

( 80 km/h) or further than 60 miles

(100 km). If the transmission is defective, or

if the above spe ed or dista nce is to be

exceeded, the drive shaft must be

disconnected from the rear axle or the rear

axle raised off the ground. In the latter

case, secure the steering wheel to maintain

a straight-ahead position.

Consult a workshop. We recommend your

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will

serve you best to get your vehicle back on

the roa d.

Towing service

Entrust your vehicle only to the towing

service of your choice and obtain an

estimate of towing costs before em ploying

any towing service. In this way you avoid

unnecessary costs and possible insurance

problems during claim processing.

More pressure is necessary to depress

the brake peda l since the brak e s e rv o

unit is only operative when the engine is

running.

C onsiderably grea ter s tee ring force is

necessary sinc e this unit is op erative only

when the engine is running.
