Removing the jump leads Before you remove the jump leads,
switch off the dipped beam headlights if

em fault, the engine must be tow-started

and the electronic lock of the steering col-

Towing requires some expertise and experi-
ence, especially when using a tow r
ope
. Both
drivers should be familiar with the difficulties
involved in towing. For this reason, inexper-
ienced drivers should abstain from towing.
During towing, it should be ensured that no
impermissible tractive forces or shocks are
generated. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading and
damaging the anchorage points.
During towing, the towing vehicle can signal
the change of direction even with the hazard
warning lights turned on. To do so, at the
same time, the turn signal lever must be oper-
ated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile, the
hazard warning lights will go off. When the
turn signal lever is returned to the rest posi-
tion, the hazard warning lights will be auto-
matically reactivated. Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
