! When COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
PLUS, DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD func-
tion is activated, the vehicle brakes auto-
matically in certain situations. To avoid
damage to the vehicle, deactivate these
systems in the following or similar situa-
tions:
R
when towing away
R
in a car wash
! Observe the following points when towing
with a tow rope:
R
secure the tow rope on the same side on
both vehicles.
R
make sure that the tow rope is not longer
than legally permitted. Mark the tow rope
in the middle, e.g. with a white cloth
(30 x 30 cm). This makes other road
users aware that a vehicle is being
towed.
R
only secure the tow rope to the towing
eye.
R
observe the brake lamps of the towing
vehicle while driving. Always maintain a
distance so that the tow rope does not
sag.
R
do not use steel cables or chains to tow
your vehicle. You could otherwise dam-
age the vehicle.
!
Do not use the towing eyes for recovery
purposes as this could damage the vehicle.
If in doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.
!
When towing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is too high,
the vehicles could be damaged.
! Shift the automatic transmission to N and
do not open the driver's or front passeng-
er's door during towing. The automatic
transmission may otherwise shift to posi-
tion P, which could damage both vehicles.
!
You may tow the vehicle for a maximum of
50km. A towing speed of 50 km/h must not
be exceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the entire
vehicle must be lifted up and transported.
!
Observe the transmission fluid tempera-
ture (AMG menu) in the on-board computer
when towing. The transmission fluid tem-
perature must not exceed 120 †. If this
occurs, you must stop towing immediately.
!
Tow-starting the vehicle is not permitted.
The transmission may otherwise be dam-
aged.
Also observe the following notes:
R

evant countries when towing.
R
If the engine does not start, try jump-start-
ing it (
Y
page 271). Tow-starting the vehicle
is not permitted.
R
If it is not possible to jump-start the vehicle,
have it transported to the nearest qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

of an accident or breakdown, you have the
following options:
R
transporting the vehicle
As a rule, you should have the vehicle trans-
ported.
R
towing the vehicle with a tow rope or tow
bar
Only tow the vehicle in exceptional cases.
The engine must be running if you tow the
vehicle with a tow rope or tow bar.

age, have it transported on a transporter or
trailer. Observe the display messages in the
instrument cluster.
The battery must be connected and charged.
Otherwise, you:
R
cannot set key position 2 with the Start/
Stop button
R
