Manual transmission
Towing or pushing the vehicle
A broken-down vehicle can be towed or
pushed.
For rolling or pushing the vehicle, refer to
page 109.
NOTICE
If manual unlocking of the parking brake
is not possible, the vehicle cannot be
moved or towed. There is a risk of damage
to property. The vehicle should only be
transported on a loading platform.
Follow the following instructions:
– Make sure that the ignition is switched
on; otherwise, the low beams, tail lights,
turn signals, and wipers may be unavail-
able.
– Do not tow the vehicle with the rear
axle tilted, as the front wheels could
turn.
– When the engine is stopped, there is no
power assist. Consequently, more force
needs to be applied when braking and
steering.
– Larger steering wheel movements are
required.
– The towing vehicle must not be lighter
than the vehicle being towed; otherwise,
it will not be possible to control the ve-
hicle's response.
– Do not exceed a towing speed of
30 mph/50 km/h.
– Do not exceed a towing distance of
30 miles/50 km.
Tow truck

Your vehicle should be transported with a

NOTICE
The vehicle can become damaged when
lifting and securing it.
There is a risk of damage to property.
– Lift the vehicle using suitable means.
– Do not lift or secure the vehicle by its
tow fitting, body parts, or suspension
parts.
Towing other vehicles
General information
Switch on the hazard warning system, de-
pending on local regulations.
