• The emergency lights must be switched
on on both vehicles -unless local regula
tions differ.
•
Turn ignition key to "Drive" position so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the wind
screen wiper and washer can be used.
•
As the brake servo only works when the
engine is running, considerab ly more pres
sure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running
•
On vehicles with power assisted steer
ing more force is required to turn steering
wheel when engine is not running.
• When there
is no lubricant in the manual
gearbox/automatic gearbox, the vehicle
may
on l y be towed with driving wheels
lifted.
Tow starting
The following points must be
noted when tow starting:
• Before moving off, engage 2nd or 3rd
gear .
• Switc h ignition
on. • As soon as engine starts, depress clutch and move gear lever into neutral to avoid
running into the towing vehicle.
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by towing the vehicle in ex
cess of 50 mll. Because then, fuel can pass into the converter and cause damage.
• For technical reasons tow starting a vehicle with an automatic gearbox is not possible.
Towing
When towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the following points
must be noted in addition to the details on the previous page :
• Selector lever
at " N". • Do not have the vehicle towed faste r
than 30 mph (50 km/h)
• Do not
tow further than 30 miles (50 km).
If the vehicle has to be towed long dis
tances it mu st be lifted at the front.
Reason: When the engine
is not running ,
the gearbox oi l pump is not working and the
gearbox is not adequately lubricated fo r
high speeds or long distances .
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle
may only be suspended at the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the
drive shafts turn backwards . The plane tary
gears
in the automatic gearbox then turn at
such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in a short time .
1) Does not apply to Diese l e ng ines wi h cata
lytic conve rter
Note for the Golf syncro:
• The veh icle can be towed like any two
wheel drive Golf.
• With a recovery vehicle the car
can be
towed with front or rear wheels suspended.
If the vehicle has to be towed with the rear
wheels lifted and the rear wheels cannot
turn freely, one must ensure that the free
wheel
in the rear axle has not been bridged
beforehand by driving vehicle in reverse. To reintroduce the freewheel action the gear
lever must be moved briefly in to 1 st gear
wi th ignition on and then back in to neutral.
