 Air recirculation

The essentials
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and t ak
e car
e 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 signals,
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
charged. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Self-help
Only attach the tow rope or the tow bar to
the t o
wing eyes pr
ovided or a towing bracket.
If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
towing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with
a tow bar if this has been specially designed
to be installed with a tow hitch

Emergencies
Bear in mind the instructions for towing

Instruments and warning/control lamps
Within its limitations, the system also displays
additional signal s, such as time-specific pr
o-
hibitions, signs f
or vehicles towing trailers

Operation
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
t o
w syst
em are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false
alarm:
