WARNING! When the engine is not
running during towing and no
additional measures are taken, there
is no power steering and no air is
supplied to the braking system. This
results in difficult steering and
increased brake pedal force and
ultimately leads to automatic
engagement of the parking brake.
This can lead to very dangerous
situations.
- Short distance towing: Release
the parking brake, see
'Releasing the parking brake'
and adapt the driving style of the
towing combination.
- Long distance towing: Use a
recovery vehicle.
- To clear the towing eyes, remove the black
grid from the lower grille by turning the
attachment screws a quarter turn.
- Always fix the tow rod with its original
attachment pin (part of the vehicle tool kit) in
the towing eyes.
- Turn the ignition key so that the steering
wheel is released (unless the vehicle is in a
hoist, see below).
- If there is insufficient pressure in the air
reservoirs, release the parking brake. See
section 'Releasing the parking brake'.
- To prevent damage to the gearbox, always
disconnect the propeller shaft from the
differential.
CAUTION: If the propeller shaft
remains connected during towing,
the gearbox may be seriously
damaged.
- Always disconnect the propeller
when the vehicle is being towed.
If the differential is damaged:
- Hoist the vehicle at the rear and lock the
steering wheel in the straight-ahead
position .
Long-distance towing
If the vehicle must be moved over a larger
distance, this must be done by a recovery vehicle
that lifts the vehicle to be towed under its front
axle. Do not run the engine because of the risk of
engine lubrication failure.
Tow starting
If the vehicle must be towed to start the engine,
the ignition key must first be turned clockwise to
position D, ignition on.
