Emergency towing with a rope

Short distances only, when no flatbed
Official manufacturer dataApplies to: Petrol and Super Hybrid (SHS-P)Source: Petrol handbook p223 · Super Hybrid handbook p231-232

If no flatbed is available, the car can be towed for a short distance using the towing eyelet – only on a hard, surfaced road and at low speed.

  • A driver must sit in the towed car to steer and brake.
  • The wheels, drivetrain, axles, steering and brakes must be in good condition.
  1. 1Fit the towing eyelet and attach the rope, chain or tow bar to it.
  2. 2Release the parking brake (see "Brake System" for emergency release).
  3. 3Select N.
  4. 4Switch the vehicle power to ACC or ON.

Caution:Don't tow for long periods. Tow as straight as possible – never at an angle.

Caution:Never use this car to tow a heavier vehicle.

Caution:Both drivers must understand the towing procedure before starting.

Caution:With the engine off, the brake and steering assistance doesn't work, so braking and steering are much heavier. Take great care.

Caution:If the towed car won't move, don't force it. Get help from a professional or an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
