DO-IT-YOURSELF
It is not recommended to tow-start the
vehicle (despite observing the instruc-
tions which are given in the Owner’s
Manual) in view of the fact that severe
engine damage may result in certain cir-
cumstances.
It is best to attempt to start the engine
by using jump-starting cables - refer to
page 177 of the Owner’s Manual - or to
call on the services of SERVICE Mobil.
General information

The tow rope should be elastic so that
there is no strain on either vehicle. It is best
to use only plastic fibre ropes or ropes
made of a similarly elastic material. It is
important to ensure that no impermissible
pulling forces and no sudden shock loads
occur. If attempting to tow a car which is
not on a paved road, there is always a risk
of the parts of the car to which the tow rope
is attached being subjected to excessive
stress and damaged.

Before attempting to start the engine
by tow-starting the car, always use the
battery of another vehicle as a jump-
starting aid if possible - see page 177. It is essential to pay attention to the follo-
wing points when tow-starting and to-
wing the car:


Observe any legal regulations regarding
towing another vehicle.

Both drivers should be acquainted with
the special features of towing a vehicle.
Persons not familiar with towing a vehicle
should not attempt to tow-start or tow a car.

If a tow rope is used, the driver of the
towing vehicle should engage the clutch
particularly softly when moving off and shift-
ing gears.

The driver of the towed car should en-
sure that the tow rope is always taught.

The ignition of the towed car should be
switched on so that the steering wheel is
not blocked and the turn signal lights, the
windscreen wipers, horn, lights and other
electrical components can be switched on.

As the brake servo unit only operates
when the engine is running, note that suffi-
ciently greater force is required to depress
the brake pedal when the engine is not run-
ning and the steering is also much more
difficult to operate.
For technical reasons, it is not possible
to tow-start a car fitted with an automatic
gearbox.
In the event of a defect in the gearbox,
your vehicle no longer contains lubri-
cant, the car must be towed with the
driving wheels lifted or on a special
transporter or trailer.
