– Depress the clutch pedal fully and keep it depressed. – Switch on the ignition.– Wait until both vehicles are movi
ng then release the clutch pedal
slowly.
– Depress the clutch pedal fully when the engine fires and take the
vehicle out of gear.
For technical reasons it is not possib
le to tow-start a car fitted with an
automatic
gearbox
.WARNING
There is high risk of having an accident when tow-starting a vehicle, when for example the towed vehicle runs into the towing vehicle.
Caution
Vehicles which are fitted with a catalytic
converter should not be tow-started over
a d i s t a n c e o f m o re t h a n 5 0 m e t re s . U n b u r n
t fuel may get into the catalytic converter
and damage it.Towing in a vehicle fitted with a manual gearboxPlease refer to the notes

Caution
•
Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a
higher amperage - risk of fire! This may
also cause damage at another part of the
electrical system.•
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage
if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
