Towing the vehicle
Important!
When towing the vehicle, please, note the following:
With the automatic central locking activated and the
electronic key in steering lock position 2, the vehicle
doors lock if the left front wheel as well as the right rear
wheel are turning at vehicle speeds of approx. 9 mph
(15 km/h) or more.
To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking,
deactivate the automatic central locking, see page 36.The rear towing eye is located at the right, below the
bumper. The front towing eye is located on the
passenger side behind the grille in the bumper panel.
Grille removal:
Hold left and right end of grille and pull out.
Grille installation:
Engage left and right end of grille and press in securely.
Wa r n i n g !
Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground, make certain that the electronic key is in
steering lock position 2. The maximum towing
speed and distance with the vehicle on the ground
is 30 mph (50 km/h) and 30 miles (50 km).If the electronic key is left in the steering lock
position 0 for an extended period of time, it can no
longer be turned in the lock. In this case, the
steering is locked. To unlock, remove electronic key
from steering lock and reinsert.
