Towing
During towing, one vehicle is towed by
another vehicle using a tow rope.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit
for towing before towing begins.
1. Unlock the steering lock by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch
and giving a long press on the START/
STOP ENGINE button - key position II is
activated, see Key positions (p. 76) for
more information about key positions.
2. The remote control key must remain in
the ignition switch while the car is being
towed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle reduces speed by holding your
foot gently pressed on the brake pedal -
thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.
WARNING
•
Check that the steering lock is
unlocked before towing.
•
The remote control key must be in key
position II - in position I all airbags are
deactivated.
•
Never remove the remote control key
from the ignition switch when the car
is being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off - the
brake pedal needs to be depressed
about 5 times more heavily and the steer-
ing is 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
•
Do not tow the vehicle at speeds
higher than 80 km/h or for distances in
excess of 80 km.
•
Note that the car must always be
towed with the wheels rolling forward.
Automatic gearbox Powershift
Models with the Powershift gearbox should
not be towed. 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 trans-
mission, this can be verified by checking the
designation on the gearbox label under the
bonnet, see Type designations (p. 406). The
designation ”MPS6” means that it is
Powershift transmission - otherwise it is
Geartronic automatic transmission.
IMPORTANT
Avoid towing.
•
However, the car can be towed for a
short distance at low speed to move it
from a dangerous position - not further
than 10 km and not faster than
10 km/h. Note that the car must
always be towed with the wheels roll-
ing forward.
•
In the event of moving a longer dis-
tance than 10 km, the car must be
transported with the drive wheels
raised from the road - professional
recovery is recommended.
Prior to towing:
– Move the gear selector to position
N
and
release the parking brake.
Jump starting
Do not tow the car to bump start the engine.
Use a donor battery if the starter battery is
