Notes on tow-starting and towing
away
Specialist knowledge beyond the scope of these
Operating Instructions is required for tow-start-
ing and towing the vehicle away. Only have your
vehicle towed away or tow-started by a profes-
sional towing/recovery company.
Only in exceptional cases, e.g. when leaving
areas of danger, should the vehicle be towed
with the propeller shaft installed.
Vehicles with power steering: only tow-start the
vehicle if the ignition is switched on and the red
D
warning lamp is not lit in the instrument
cluster. Tow-start the vehicle on a straight
stretch of road. Only tow the vehicle with raised
front axles.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the distance control assistant is switched
on, the vehicle accelerates or brakes auto-
matically in certain situations. If you use the
vehicle as working machinery with distance
control assistant switched on, the vehicle may
accelerate or brake unexpectedly. There is a
risk of an accident.
Always switch off the distance control assis-
tant in this or similar situations.
G
WARNING
If Active Brake Assist is activated while you
are towing your vehicle or using it, e.g. as
working machinery, the vehicle may brake
automatically. The wheels could lose grip.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always deactivate Active Brake Assist in this
or similar situations.
G
WARNING
If the engine is not running, the hydraulic
power steering and the compressed-air sup-
ply are inoperative. To steer, you will require
considerably more force. The spring-loaded
parking brake can activate if there is a loss of
compressed air and the vehicle may then
brake uncontrollably. You could therefore
lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always use a tow bar. Always ensure the
compressed-air supply using an external
compressed-air source.
! Attachments and bodies can affect the vehi-
cle height and width. Do not exceed the per-
missible vehicle height and observe the legal
requirements for the country you are cur-
rently in.
If the rear of the vehicle is raised for towing
away, fold back the wind deflectors.
Drive carefully and anticipate road and traffic
conditions. Observe the maximum clearance
of underpasses.
! When towing/tow-starting, please observe
the following:
R
If the engine is not running, have the pro-
peller or drive shaft removed. Otherwise,
the transmission may be damaged.
