• Use a towing cable or chain less than 5
m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide)
in the middle of the cable or chain for
easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the automatic
transmission/dual clutch transmission

If the automatic transmission fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a towing
dolly must be used.
