concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have
the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow
rod - to the front towing eye, never to
the bumper or front suspension units.
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.
The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Transmission in neutral.
Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 116 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
88 km/h . In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
