242Vehicle careTowingTowing the vehicleCaution
Incorrect towing of a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should only be towed on a flatbed
car carrier.
Ensure the vehicle is only towed
by well trained technicians.
Wrap a cloth around the tip of a slot
screwdriver to prevent paint damage. Insert the screwdriver in the slot at the
short edge of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver sidewards.
The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 230.
Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise
as far as it will go until it stops in a
horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on the vehicle to release
steering wheel lock and to permit
operation of brake lights, horn and
windscreen wiper.Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 168, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Shift the selector lever of the electric
drive unit into N.
Release the electric parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the vehicle is not running, considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
