nEmergency towing procedure
The engine must be in ACCESSORY mode (engine off) or IGNI−
TION ON mode (engine running).

tial is unlocked.)

stress on the emergency towing hook and the cable or chain.
lIf the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

lNever tow this vehicle wheels on the ground.
