Emergency towing
Both the front and rear towing eyes are intended for
use ONLY by the emergency services, or qualified
vehicle recovery specialists, to assist in the recovery of
your car should a breakdown or accident occur.
DO NOT use the lashing eyes to tow your car
behind another vehicle.
DO NOT using the lashing eyes for towing
another vehicle.
Towing for recovery
If your car is to be towed, most qualified recovery
specialists will use wheel lift equipment to suspend the
front wheels while the rear wheels remain on the
ground. However, if it is necessary for the car to be
towed with all four wheels on the ground, follow this
procedure.
Before being towed:
1) Turn the ignition key to position ‘I’ to unlock the
steering, and then to position ‘II’ to enable the brake
lights, wipers and direction indicators to be operated if
necessary.
2) Place the gear lever in neutral.
3) Release the handbrake.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to tow the car unless the
ignition switch is turned to position ‘I’, in order to
unlock the steering (if, due to an accident or
electrical fault, this is considered unsafe,
disconnect the battery before turning the switch).
DO NOT remove the ignition key, or turn the
switch to position ‘O’, while the car is in motion.
Fuses and Relays
The fuse box is located under the dashboard on the
vertical face of the engine bulkhead (see figure 21).
Although the fuses and relays are not numbered the
tables below are in the order that they will be found in
the fuse box working from the top down.

Fuses are simple circuit breakers, which protect
electrical equipment by preventing the electrical circuits
from being overloaded. A ‘blown’ fuse is indicated
when the electrical equipment it protects becomes
inoperative. Check a suspect fuse by removing it from
the fuse box and looking for a break in the wire inside
the fuse.
Renewing a fuse
Always turn off the ignition switch and the appropriate
electrical circuit before removing a fuse. Always
replace a fuse with another of the same (or lower)
rating. If a replacement fuse blows almost immediately,
this indicates a serious electrical problem and the
circuit MUST be checked by Caterham Cars.
