Mercedes-Benz recommends transporting your
vehicle in the case of a breakdown, rather than
towing it away.
For towing, use a tow rope or tow bar with both
axles on the ground. Do not use tow bar systems.
If you notice that the vehicle has lost coolant, do
not have it towed away. Have the vehicle transpor-
ted instead.
