Towing
During towing, the car is towed by another vehicle by means of a towline.
Important
It is not permitted to tow the car when the front pair of wheels has contact with the road, as this would damage the electric motor. Instead, the car must be towed with the front wheels on a dolly, or recovered raised and standing with all wheels on the platform of a recovery vehicle.
When towing another car
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before the towing begins.
Jump starting
Tow-starting the motor is not permitted as this will damage the electric motor. Use a donor battery if the starter battery is discharged and the engine does not start.
Important
The electric drive motor and the catalytic converter may be damaged during attempts to tow-start the car.
