Giving and receiving assistance

282

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition is switched on,

refer to page 65, otherwise the low

beams, tail lamps, turn signals and windshield

wipers would not be available. When the engine

is stopped, there is no power assist. This then

requires increased effort for braking and steer-

ing. Active steering is deactivated and larger

steering wheel movements are required.<

Switch on the hazard warning flashers depend-

ing on the local regulations. If the electrical sys-

tem fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with

a sign or warning triangle in the rear window.

Before towing, manually unlock the trans-

mission lock, refer to page 72; failure to

do so can result in damage to the transmis-

sion.<

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 vehicle by tow fitting or body

and chassis parts, otherwise damage may

result.<

In some countries, towing with tow bars or

ropes in public traffic is not permitted. Familiar-

ize yourself with the regulations on towing in the

respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle may not be lighter

than the vehicle to be towed, otherwise it

will not be possible to reliably control vehicle

response.<

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 offset

angle, observe the following:

> Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> When mounted at an angle, the tow bar will

exert lateral forces, tending to push the

vehicle sideways.

Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings,

as attachment to other vehicle parts can

lead to damage.<

With 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.

Only attach tow ropes to the tow fittings, as

attachment to other vehicle parts can lead to

damage.<

With tow truck

Do not tow your BMW with the front or

rear axle raised individually; otherwise,

the wheels may lock and the transfer case may

be damaged.<

Have the BMW transported only on a flatbed

surface.

Tow-starting

The engine cannot be started by tow-starting.

Start the engine by jump starting it, refer to

page 280.

Have the cause of the starting difficulties elimi-

nated.
