Towing and tow-starting
If you tow the vehicle, you must use a rigid
towing bar if:
R
the engine is not running
R
there is a brake system malfunction
R
the voltage supply or the vehicle's elec-
trical system is damaged
There is no power assistance for the steer-
ing when the engine is not running.
The vehicle is braked when HOLD is activa-
ted. Therefore, deactivate HOLD if the vehi-
cle is to be towed.
If you tow or tow-start another vehicle, its
weight must not exceed the maximum per-
missible gross vehicle weight of your vehi-
cle.
It is better to have the vehicle transported
than to have it towed.
When towing, observe the legal requirements
in all countries concerned.
!
When towing, pull away slowly and with-
out jerking. If the tractive power is too high,
the vehicles could be damaged. Do not use
the towing eye for recovery.
!
You may tow the vehicle for a maximum
of 50 km. A towing speed of 50 km/h must
not be exceeded.
With towing distances over 50 km, the
entire vehicle needs to be lifted up and
transported.
!
Only secure the tow cable or towing bar
to the towing eyes. You may otherwise
damage the vehicle.
R
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
must not be tow-started.
R
If the engine does not start, try jump-start-
ing it (
R
If it is not possible to jump-start the vehicle,
have it towed to the nearest qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
R
If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller shaft
disconnected.
R
The selector lever must be in position
N on
vehicles with automatic transmission.
R
If you are towing the vehicle over a consid-
erable distance, this may only be done with
the rear axle raised.
R
The ignition must be switched off if you are
towing the vehicle with the front/rear axle
raised. Intervention by ESP
®
could other-
wise damage the brake system.
R
Before towing the vehicle, make sure that
the battery is connected and charged. Oth-
erwise:
-
You cannot switch on the ignition
-
You cannot move the selector lever to
N
-
You have no support when braking
i
Switch off the automatic locking feature
You could otherwise be locked out when
pushing or towing the vehicle.
