Giving and receiving assistance

232

windshield wipers may be unavailable. Power

steering assistance is not available when the

engine is not running. Thus, braking and steer-

ing will require increased effort. Active steering

is not active and it will be necessary to turn the

steering wheel further.<

Manual transmission

Gearshift lever in neutral position.

Automatic transmission

Selector lever in position N.

Changing the selector lever position, refer to

page 61.

Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph/

70 km/h and a towing distance of

90 miles/150 km, otherwise the automatic

transmission may be damaged.<

Towing methods

Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or

body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-

age may result.<

With a tow bar

The towing vehicle must not be lighter

than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may

be impossible to maintain control.<

The tow fittings used should be on the same

side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi-

ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle,

please observe the following:

> Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is

attached offset.

Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only,

as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle

could result in damage.<

With a tow rope

When starting off in the towing vehicle, make

sure that the tow rope is taut.

To avoid jerking and the associated

stresses on vehicle components when

towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.

Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as

attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could

result in damage.<

With a tow truck

Have the BMW transported with a tow truck

with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.

Do not tow the vehicle with just the rear axle

raised as this may cause the steering to turn.

Tow-starting

Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi-

ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to

page 230. Vehicles with a catalytic converter

should only be tow-started when the engine is

cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission

cannot be tow-started at all.

1. Switch on the hazard warning flashers,

comply with local regulations.

2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 58.

3. Shift into 3rd gear.

4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch

depressed all the way and slowly release

the clutch. After the engine starts, immedi-

ately depress the clutch completely again.

5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow

bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn-

ing flashers.

6. Have the vehicle checked.
