With a tow bar

The towing vehicle must not be

lighter than the vehicle being

towed; otherwise, vehicle handling can

no longer be controlled.<

The towing eyelets of both vehicles

should be on the same side.

If the tow bar can only be used in a

diagonal position, please note the fol-

lowing:

> Clearance is restricted while you are

driving around corners

> The inclination of the tow bar pro-

duces lateral force.

Only attach the tow bar to the

towing eyelets. Other parts of the

vehicles could otherwise be dam-

aged.<

With a tow rope

When the towing vehicle is driving off,

make sure that the tow rope is taut.

Use nylon ropes or straps for tow-

ing because they prevent sudden

jerking movements. Attach the tow rope

only to the towing eyelets. Other parts

of the vehicles could otherwise be

damaged.<

With a tow truck

Have the BMW transported by a tow

truck with a lift sling, or on a flatbed.

Never allow passengers to ride in

a towed vehicle for any reason.<

Do not lift the vehicle by the tow-

ing eyelet, nor by parts of the

body or chassis. Otherwise damage

could result.<

Tow-starting

Do not tow-start vehicles with

automatic transmissions. Jump-

starting, refer to page 163.<

Only tow-start vehicles with catalytic

converters if the engine is cold. It is

better to have the engine jump-started,

refer to page 163.
