The automatic transmission automatically
shifts to position P when you open the driver's
or front-passenger door or when you remove
the key from the ignition lock. In order to
ensure that the automatic transmission stays
in position N when towing the vehicle, you
must observe the following points:
X
Make sure that the vehicle is stationary and
that the key is in position 0 in the ignition
lock.
X
Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, use the key
instead of the Start/Stop button
(
Y
page 147).
X
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
X
Shift the automatic transmission to posi-
tion N.

lock.

When towing with the hazard warning
lamps switched on, use the combination
switch as usual to signal a change of direc-
tion. In this case, only the turn signals for
the desired direction flash. When you reset
the combination switch, the hazard warn-
ing lamps start flashing again.
Transporting the vehicle

or wheel rims, not by parts of the vehicle

erwise, the vehicle could be damaged.

purposes.
The towing eyes or trailer tow hitch can be
used to pull the vehicle onto a trailer or trans-
porter if you wish to transport it.

tion P.

0 and remove the key from the ignition

Notes for 4MATIC vehicles
!
Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with the front or rear axle raised; otherwise,
the transmission may be damaged.
If the vehicle has transmission damage or
damage to the front or rear axle, have it trans-
ported on a transporter or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electrical
system
If the battery is defective, the automatic
transmission will be locked in position P. To
shift the automatic transmission to position
N, you must provide power to the vehicle's
electrical system in the same way as when
jump-starting (
Y
page 344).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporter
or trailer.
Tow-starting (emergency engine
starting)
!
Vehicles with automatic transmission
must not be tow-started. The transmission
may otherwise be damaged.
