The towing eye is loca ted a t the front of the

bumper vent.

Dise ngage f lap at top and f old down.

Attach a tow rope 3 – or better still a tow

ro d 3 – to the eye.

Switch on ignition to release stee ring column

lock and to permit operation of brake lamps,

horn and windscreen wipers.

Se t t he ge ar shif t leve r to ne utra l or, wit h

automatic transmission 3, set the selector

lever to N.

Drive off slowly and avoid jerky movements.

Impermissible tractive forces could damage

the vehicle s.

Switch on automa tic a ir circulation and close

the windows to prevent exhaust emissions

from the towing ve hicle entering your vehicle .

Vehicles with automatic tran smission 3

should be towed facing forwards only and

must not be towed faster than 50 mph

(80 km/h) or further than 60 miles (100 km).

If th e transmission is defective, or if t he above

spee d or distance is to be ex ceeded, the drive

shaft mu st be disconnect ed f rom t he r ear axle

or the rear a xle raised off the ground. In the

latter c ase, secure the stee ring wheel t o

maintain a straight-ahead position.

Take your vehicle to the nearest Vauxhall

Dealership, who will serve you best to get

your vehicle bac k on t he road.

More pressure is necessary to depress the

brak e pedal since the brake servo unit is

only operative when the en gine is running.

Considerably more force is required for

steering: Power-assisted steering is only

available when the en gine is running.
