How to Use
> Always turn the ignition on when the vehicle is being towed, so that the steering lock is released, and the indicators and brake lights will work.
> Before being towed, release the handbrake and select neutral on the transmission.
> If you have an automatic, special precautions apply. If in doubt, do not tow or transmission damage may result.

Note that the greater-than-usual pedal pressure will be needed to apply the brakes; this is due to the vacuum servo unit only being operational when the engine is running.

> If you have power steering then please note that this also will require a greater effort, as the power steering is only operational once the ignition is running.
> The driver of the car being towed must keep the tow-rope taut at all times to avoid snatching.
> Ensure both drivers know the route before setting off.
> Only ever drive at moderate speeds and keep the distance towed at a minimum. Drive smoothly and allow plenty of time for slowing down at junctions.

You may not need one everyday but a Tow Rope can be one of the most useful pieces of kit you can keep in your car.
