Towing or tow-starting
General
information
Read the additional information carefully
›

page 69.
Tow-starting means starting the engine of
the vehicle while another pulls it.
Towing means one vehicle pulling another
that is not roadworthy.
If the vehicle comes with the Keyless Access
system, towing is only allowed with the igni-
tion on!
The vehicle battery drains if the vehicle is
towed with the engine switched off and the
ignition connected. Depending on the battery
charge status, the drop in voltage may be so
large, even after just a few minutes, that no
electrical device in the vehicle may work e.g.
the hazard warning lights. In vehicles with
the Keyless Access system, the steering
wheel could lock up.
WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, the
brake light
s, turn signals and all other lights
will no longer function. Do not have the vehi-
cle towed away. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident.
WARNING
The risk of accidents is high when tow-start-
ing, for e
xample, the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.
CAUTION
If there is no oil in the gearbox or no lubricant
in the automatic
transmission the car may
only be towed with the driven wheels lifted
clear of the road, or transported on a special
car transporter or trailer.
CAUTION
Do not tow a vehicle for more than 50 m in at-
tempt t
o start it. There is risk of damage to
the catalytic converter.
Note
●
Plea
se observe related legal requirements.
●
Switch on the hazard warning lights of both
vehicles. However, observe any regulations
to the contrary.
