same time, the turn signal lever must be op-
erated with ignition switched on. During this
time the hazard warning lights remain discon-
nected. When the turn signal lever is returned
to the rest position, the hazard warning lights
will be automatically reactivated.
Cases where the vehicle must never be
towed
Do not allow the vehicle to be towed for a long
distance on its wheels in the following situa-
tions:
•
A red warning light lights up on the instru-
ment cluster screen and a message is dis-
played:
Towing damages the electri-
cal system. Manual!
•
The power supply of the on-board 12-volt
electrical system cannot be guaranteed.
•
The 12-volt battery is discharged. The steer-
ing remains locked and, if applicable, the park-
ing brake cannot be released and the elec-
tronic steering column lock cannot be released
if they are engaged.
• The indicator on the instrument panel dis-
play is not working properly.
•
It is not possible to set the gears to neutral
( N ).
•
There is no guarantee that the wheels will
turn smoothly or that the steering will work af-
ter an accident.
If the vehicle cannot be towed on its wheels for
any of the reasons mentioned above, request
assistance from specialised personnel and, if
necessary, have the vehicle transported with-
out the wheels touching the ground. Inform
the people involved in the towing process, es-
pecially the organising centre and the carrier,
that it is an electric vehicle.
Towing
Previous steps
•
Secure the tow cable or tow bar using only
the attachment points provided for this pur-
pose
›››
. Depending on the equipment,
these points may be a towing device or a tow-
ing eye.
•
Make sure the tow cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise the towing eye could unscrew during
towing.
•
Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-
ing lights of both vehicles. If necessary, take
into account other different provisions that
may exist in this regard.
•
Take into account the instructions on towing
provided in the instruction manual of the other
vehicle.
Towing vehicle (front)
The vehicle is not suitable for towing other ve-
hicles.
Towed vehicle (behind)
• Make sure the ignition is switched on so that
the steering wheel does not lock and so that, if
necessary, you can use the turn signals and the
windscreen wiper.
•
The brake servo and the power steering only
work with the drive system connected. Other-
wise, you will have to depress the brake pedal
considerably harder and more force will be
needed to turn the steering wheel.
• Make sure the tow cable is always taut.
•
Select the N gear position.
If the conditions for towing are not met,
the vehicle can be towed or pushed on all
four wheels in emergency situations. However,
towing is only permitted at walking speed
and a maximum of 100 m
to the tow truck
