Tow-starting, towing away
Tow-starting
Cars with catalytic converter should
only be tow-started if the engine is
cold. It is always preferable to use jump
leads, see page 173.
1. Switch on the hazard warning
flashers (comply with local regula-
tions)
2. Turn the ignition key to position 2
3. Select 3rd gear
4. Keep the clutch pedal down. When
the car is moving, gradually release
the clutch pedal. After the engine has
fired and is running, depress the
clutch pedal again
5. Switch off the hazard warning
flashers.
Have the cause of starting problems
traced and rectified by BMW Service.
Automatic-transmission cars:
These cars cannot be tow-started.
Starting with jump leads: see page 173.
Towing away
1. Turn ignition key to position 1, to
enable the brake lights, turn indica-
tors, horn and windscreen wipers to
be activated
2. Switch on the hazard warning
flashers (comply with local regula-
tions)
If the car's electrical system has failed,
the car must be made identifiable to
following vehicles, for instance by
placing a notice or the warning triangle
in the rear window.
Make sure that the ignition key is
turned to position 1 even if the
electrical system has failed; this is to
ensure that the steering lock cannot
engage and prevent the car from being
steered.
When the engine is not running, there is
no power assistance and the brake
servo is out of action. The steering and
brakes will require extra effort to
operate.
