Towing

Observe before towing

Light towing vehicle

The towing vehicle must not be lighter

than the vehicle being towed; otherwise, it will

not be possible to control the vehicle re‐

sponse.◀

Attaching the tow bar/tow rope correctly

Attach the tow bar or tow rope to the tow

fitting; connecting it to other vehicle parts may

cause damage.◀

Manually release the transmission lock

Manually release the transmission lock,

even if there is no malfunction involving the

transmission. Otherwise, there is the danger

that the transmission lock will be engaged au‐

tomatically during towing.◀

Observe during towing

Follow the general instructions

Follow the instructions on towing; other‐

wise, there is the danger of damage to the vehi‐

cle or accidents occurring.◀

▷ Make sure that the ignition is switched on;

otherwise, the low beams, tail lamps, turn

signals, and windshield wipers may be un‐

available.

▷ Do not tow the vehicle with the rear axle

raised, as the front wheels could turn.

▷ When the engine is stopped, there is no

power assist. Consequently, more force

needs to be applied when braking and steer‐

ing.

▷ Larger steering wheel movements are re‐

quired.

▷ Switch on the hazard warning system, de‐

pending on local regulations.

▷ If the electrical system has failed, clearly

identify the vehicle being towed by placing

a sign or a warning triangle in the rear win‐

dow.

Adhere to the towing speed and distance

Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 mph/

50 km/h and a towing distance of 30 miles/

50 km; otherwise, the automatic transmission

may be damaged.◀

Towing methods

Do not lift the vehicle

Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting or

body and chassis parts; otherwise, damage may

result.◀

Tow bar

The tow fittings used should be on the same

side on both vehicles.

Should it prove impossible to avoid mounting

the tow bar at an offset angle, please observe

the following:

▷ Maneuvering capability is limited during cor‐

nering.

▷ The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it

is secured with an offset.

Tow rope

When starting to tow the vehicle, make sure that

the tow rope is taut.

To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on

the vehicle components when towing, always

use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
