WARNING: Vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter should not be towed or pushed to start the engine. This may cause the converter to overheat and fail. If the battery is discharged, do not attempt to tow or push the vehicle to start the engine.
To tow your vehicle (or use it as a towing vehicle), attach the tow rope only to the designated locations on the front and rear of the vehicle.
1. Open the trunk.
2. Remove the floor mat…
3. …and take out the spare tire (see "Changing a Wheel").
4. Remove the towing eye from the holders on the jack.
5. Loosen the jack mounting bolt…
6. …and take the lug wrench.
7. To install the towing eye from the front, use a screwdriver to pry up the trim on the right side of the car…
NOTE: Insert the screwdriver into the hole provided.
8. …and, overcoming the force of the clamps, remove the cover.
9. Screw in the towing eye by hand, turning it counterclockwise (the eye has a left-hand thread)…

Before towing your vehicle, set the ignition key to position "0" and turn on the warning lights in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulations. Set the manual transmission control lever (automatic transmission selector lever) to neutral (position "N"). If possible, tow the vehicle with the engine running so that the force on the steering wheel and brake pedal does not increase.
WARNING: The brake booster and power steering only operate when the engine is running. Therefore, keep in mind that when towing a vehicle with the engine off, the force on the brake pedal and steering wheel increases sharply.
