212Vehicle careVehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
50 mph. 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 a towingeye. Towing with a tow rope could
cause severe automatic transmission
damage. When towing vehicles with
automatic transmission, use flat bed
or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap and close cap.Towing another vehicle

screwdriver and remove.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 194.

go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
The lashing eye at the rear
underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye.
Attach a tow rope – or even better a
tow bar – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering a
vehicle.
