Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle, and avoid jerking the tow rope. When towing on an un‐
paved road, there is always a risk of overloading and damaging the attachment points.
If your vehicle is being towed, it can still signal turns even if the emergency flashers are switched on,
as long as the ignition is switched on. Use the turn signal in the normal way. The emergency flashers
go off as long as the turn signal is blinking. As soon as the turn signal lever returns to its neutral posi‐
tion, the emergency flashers are automatically switched on again.
As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
If your vehicle is the one being towed, the ignition must be switched on to keep the steering wheel
from locking. Also make sure that the turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, and windshield wash‐
ers work properly.
Since power steering does not work when the engine is switched off, more effort is needed to
steer the vehicle.
Since the brake booster also does not work when the engine is stopped, you will need to press
harder on the brake pedal to slow down or stop. Do not hit the towing vehicle.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the towing vehicle's owner's manual.
As the driver of the towing vehicle:
Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Avoid sudden driving maneuvers.
Brake earlier and more gently than usual and with light pedal pressure.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the owner's manual of the vehicle being
towed.
