Observe any legal requirements when towing.
For technical reasons, vehicles with a dis-charged battery must not be tow-started.
Towing a vehicle when the engine is switched off and the ignition is switched on discharges the vehi-cle battery. Depending on the vehicle battery charge level, the drop in voltage can be large enough after just a few minutes that electrical con-sumers in the vehicle will no longer function, e.g. the hazard warning lights.
Additional information and warnings:
