Start assistance
Use a donor battery if the battery is discharged
and the engine does not start. Do not tow the
car to bump start the engine, see page 179.
IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cat-
alytic converter.
Towing
Find out the highest legal speed for towing
before towing the car.
1.
Turn the remote control key to position
II
and unlock the steering lock so that the car
can be steered, see page 153.
2.
The ignition key must remain in position
II
while the car is being towed.
3.
Ensure the towrope is always taut by gently
depressing the brake pedal to avoid violent
jerks.
WARNING
The steering lock remains in the position it
was in when the power was cut off. The
steering lock must be unlocked before tow-
ing.
The remote control key must be in position
II
. Never remove the key from the ignition
switch while driving or when the car is being
towed.
NOTE
If the car is de-energised then the steering
lock must be unlocked using a donor bat-
tery before towing can be started.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off. The
brake pedal must be pressed about five
times harder than normal, and the steering
will be considerably heavier than normal.
Manual gearbox
Prior to towing:
Move gear lever into neutral and release
the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox, Geartronic
Prior to towing:
Move the gear selector to position
N
and
release the parking brake.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with
the wheels rolling forward.
•
Cars with automatic gearbox must not
be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or
further than 80 km.
Automatic gearbox, Powershift
The 2.0 model with Powershift transmission
should not be towed as the transmission is
dependent on the engine running in order to
receive sufficient lubrication. If towing still has
to take place, the route must be as short as
possible and then with very low speed.
In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not
the car is equipped with Powershift transmis-
sion, this can be verified by checking the des-
ignation on the decal number (5) under the
bonnet - see page 282. The designation
"MPS6" means that there is Powershift trans-
mission - otherwise it is Geartronic transmis-
sion.
