TEDama geand risk of accident when
to wing with a tow rope There is a
risk of an accident if you do not
obse rve saf ety and pr otective measures when
to wing using a tow rope.
Obser vethefo llowing points when towing
with a tow rope: #
Secure theto w rope on the same side
on bo thvehicles, if possible. #
Make sure theto w rope does not
exc eed the legally prescribed length. #
Mark theto w rope in the middle, e.g.
with a white clo th(30 x 30 cm). This
makes other road users aware that a
ve hicle is being towe d. #
Obser vethe brake lamps of theto wing
ve hicle while driving. Alw ays maintain a
dis tance that ensures theto w rope does
not sag. #
Do not use steel cables or chains to tow

age theve hicle. #
Deactivate automatic locking (/ page 50).#
Do not activate the HOLD function. #
Deactivate theto w- aw ay alarm (/ page 62). #
Deactivate Active Brake Assi st (/ page 150). #
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
