When towing the vehicle, please, note the following:
With the automatic central locking activated and the
electronic key in starter switch position 2, the vehicle

wheel are turning at vehicle speeds of approximately
9 mph (15 km / h) or more.To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking,
deactivate the automatic central locking. See the
individual setting menu “VEHICLE” – “AUTOMATIC

the electronic key cannot be turned in the starter switch
if the battery is disconnected or discharged. See battery
