The driver of the towed vehicle must keep the towing rope taut at all times to avoid dangerous entanglement with the wheel.
Make sure both drivers (towing vehicle and towed vehicle) know the route.
Tow the vehicle at a moderate speed, start off smoothly and brake early, maintaining a minimum safe distance.
On cars with automatic transmissions, special precautions will need to be taken. If in doubt, call a tow truck to avoid damaging the transmission.
Attention! To avoid damaging the catalytic converter, when starting the engine with a tow, do not tow the car for more than 50 meters. It is preferable to use an external battery for starting.
