4.24 Towing
To prevent any damages on the vehicle due to inadequate towing, ob-
serve the instructions in the operating manual of the base vehicle be-
fore towing.
If the ignition key cannot be turned in the ignition lock, do not tow the
vehicle. The steering will be locked.
If, in the case of a vehicle with front-wheel drive and automatic trans-
mission, the engine is not running: carefully push the vehicle a stretch
of maximum of 15 meters. In the event of a breakdown, only transport
these vehicles on a trailer or a transportation vehicle.
If the engine is not running or the power supply is disrupted, the servo
assistance for the steering and brakes will not be operational. A consid-
erable amount of force will be required for steering and braking.
The vehicle manufacturer recommends to transport the vehicle on a trans-
portation vehicle or a trailer. If the vehicle has to be towed, use a towing bar.
The towing bar must be approved for the weight of the vehicle.
National regulations apply to towing.
The holder for the towing eye is located behind a cover on the front bumper
on the right-hand side.
