About towing
This section offers information on towing
methods for breakdown situations and
emergency towing. Recommended towing method - Break-

not tie down the vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts — use only wheel straps
to position and hold down the vehicle.
Improper tie down on a flatbed carrier
truck or trailer can damage suspension
parts and body panels.

transported with all wheels off the ground

ate wheel lift/dolly equipment.

voltage system lights up in the instru-
ment cluster

erative R
when one or several of the following
warning lamps light up:
-00ED Drive diagnostics (red)

0052 Power steering
R if the brake pedal already starts to pul-
sate just after towing begins

long distances
X Switch off the tow‑away protection* and
interior motion sensor* (Y page 50). Emergency towing

ommended towing method, the vehicle may

safe location where the recommended tow-
ing method can be employed. G
