Towing
During towing, the car is towed by another vehi-
cle by means of a towline.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for
towing before the towing begins.
Preparations and towing
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with
the wheels rolling forward.
•
Do not tow cars with automatic transmis-
sion at speeds higher than 80 km/h
(50 mph) or for distances in excess of 80
km (50 miles).
WARNING
•
Check that the steering lock is unlocked
before towing.
•
Ignition position II must be active - in
ignition position I all airbags are deacti-
vated.
•
Always keep the remote control key in the
car when it 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 steering is
considerably heavier than normal.
1. Activate the car's hazard warning flashers.
2. Secure the towline in the towing eye.
3. Deactivate the steering lock by unlocking the
car.
4. Put the car in the ignition position II - turn
the start knob clockwise without pressing the
brake pedal or clutch pedal for cars with
manual gearbox, and hold the start knob for
approx. 4 seconds. Then release the knob,
which automatically returns to its starting
position.
5. Move the gear selector to neutral position
and release the parking brake.
If the battery voltage is too low, the parking
brake cannot be disengaged. Connect a
donor battery if the battery voltage is too low.
> The towing vehicle can now start towing.
6. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle reduces speed by holding your foot gen-
tly pressed on the brake pedal - thereby
avoiding unnecessary jerking.
7. Be prepared to brake to stop.
Jump starting
Do not tow the car to jump start the engine. Use
a donor battery if the starter battery is discharged
and the engine does not start.
IMPORTANT
The catalytic converter may be damaged dur-
ing attempts to tow-start the engine.
