212Vehicle careVehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
80 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 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
Wrap a cloth around the tip of a flat
screwdriver to prevent paint damage. Insert the screwdriver in the slot at the
lower bend of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver downwards.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 194.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
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.
