The essentials
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and t ak
e care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

››› in Introduction on page 86
››› page 86 Tow-starting
If the engine will not start, first try starting it
u
s

ing the battery of another vehicle
››› page 58. You should only attempt to tow-
start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol en-
gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.
● Engage 2nd or 3rd gear before moving off.
● Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Once both vehicles are moving, release the
c lut

ch.
● As soon as the engine has started, press
the clut
ch and move the gear lever to neutral.
How to jump start Jump le
ads The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
c
r

oss section.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Jump leads must comply with standard
DIN
72553 (see cab
le manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm 2
for petrol engines and at least
35 mm 2
for diesel engines. Note
● The v

ehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected.
● The discharged battery must be properly
connect
ed to the on-board network.58

– For vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect
one end of the black jump lead X to a
s uit
able ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 77.
5. Connect the other end of the blac
k jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot

come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boos
ting battery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
batt
ery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until
the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dip
ped beam headlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear windo
w in the vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the le
ads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING
● Ple

ase note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 282.
● The battery providing assistance must have
the same
voltage as the flat battery (12V) and
approximately the same capacity (see imprint » 59

The essentials
on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an e
xp
losion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
terie
s is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
aw
ay from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manuf
acturer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other v
ehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Do not attach the negative cable from the
other v
ehicle to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
cl

amps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot
come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
su
lt in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
er w

ise electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Changing the wiper blades

Intr oduction Tow-starting me
an

s starting the engine of
the vehicle while another pulls it.
Towing means one vehicle pulling another
that is not roadworthy.
Always consider the legal provisions relating
to tow-starting and towing.
For technical reasons, towing a vehicle with a
discharged battery is not allowed. The jump
start should be used instead ›››
 page 58.
If the vehicle comes with the Keyless Access
system, towing is only allowed with the igni-
tion on!
The vehicle battery drains if the vehicle is
towed with the engine switched off and the
ignition connected. Depending on the battery
charge status, the drop in voltage may be so
large, even after just a few minutes, that no
electrical device in the vehicle may work e.g. the hazard warning lights. In vehicles with
the Keyl

ess Access system, the steering
wheel could lock ››› .
WARNING
A vehicle with no power should never be tow-
ed.
● During towing, never switch off the ignition
w ith the s

tarter button. Otherwise, the elec-
tronic lock of the steering column could sud-
denly get blocked and it would be impossible
to steer the vehicle. This could cause an acci-
dent, serious injury and loss of control of the
vehicle.
● If during towing the vehicle runs out of
pow
er, stop towing immediately and request
the assistance of specialist personnel. WARNING
Vehicle handling and braking capacity
c h

ange considerably during towing. Please
observe the following instructions to mini-
mise the risk of serious accidents and injury:
● As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
– You shou

ld depress the brake much hard-
er as the brake servo does not operate.
Pay the utmost attention to avoid crash-
ing into the towing vehicle.
– More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not op-
erate when the engine is switched off.
● As the driver of the towing vehicle: 86
