Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to
tow the vehicLe, please refer to the following ta
ble to determine the appropriate axle
for
your
gearbox/drive combination:
Manual
gearbox
Automatic
gearbox
Front-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Four-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: If the
vehicle is to be towed with one of the axles
raised,
the ignition must be switched off; other
wise the drive train can be damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox: For
technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-
started.
Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: As a
general rule, tow-starting is not recommended.
If the engine will not start, it is best to try start
ing it using the battery of another vehicle
*>page
326 before attempting to tow start. If
this is not possible, you can try to push-start or
tow-start the vehicle
*page
330, Tow-starting.
A WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.
UTION
- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position
P
if the electrical power sup
ply fails. Before the vehicle can be recov
ered/manoeuvred you must manually re
lease the selector lever; left-hand drive
vehicles
*page
93, right-hand drive
vehicles
*page
94.
- Please observe the relevant regulations
when towing or tow-starting.
Towing away
Please observe the important safety warnings on
*
page 328.
Preparations
• Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided
for
this purpose
opage
330,
*page
331.
• Please ensure that the tow-rope is not twisted
as it could otherwise unscrew the towline an
chorage while the vehicle is being towed.
• The hazard warning lights of both vehicles
must normally be switched on
*page
52. How
ever, observe any regulations to the contrary.
Towing vehicle (front)
• Ensure that the tow-rope is taut before you
drive off.
• Manual gearbox: Engage the clutch very gently
when starting to move and accelerate with par
ticular care.
• Automatic gearbox: Accelerate slowly and
grad
ually.
• Avoid unnecessary braking and manoeuvres.
Vehicle being towed (rear)
• Ensure that the ignition is switched on, the
steering wheel is not locked, and
that
you can
operate the turn signals, horn or windscreen
wipers if necessary
<=>/t\-
• The brake servo only works when the engine is
running.
The power steering only works when
329
Mobility
the ignition is on and the vehicle is moving1'.
Otherwise you will need to press the brake
ped
al significantly harder and apply more force to
move the steering wheel.
• Please ensure that the steering wheel is un
locked and that it moves freely.
• Release the parking brake
*page
82.
• Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: Put
the gear lever in neutral.
• Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
Move the selector lever to position N.
• Ensure that the tow-rope remains taut at all
times when towing.
© CAUTION
A WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, do NOT
use a tow-bar or tow-rope to tow the vehicle
© Note
You can use the turn signals to indicate a
change of direction (or lane) even when the
hazard warning lights are on. The hazard
warning lights will be interrupted temporari-
Ly.
Tow-starting
Please observe the important safety warnings on
*page
328.
Important: Your vehicle must be fitted with a
manual gearbox. If your vehicle has a petrol en
gine,
it must not be towed further than 50 me
tres
*(J).
• Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided
for
this purpose
*page
330,
*
page 331.
• Engage second or third gear before moving off.
• Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
• Switch on the ignition.
• Once both vehicles are moving, release the
clutch.
• As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch
pedal and put the gear lever in neutral.
When tow-starting the vehicle, do not tow it
further than 50 metres; otherwise the cata
lytic converter could be damaged.

system - risk of fire!
© CAUTION
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a
short time, the electrical system must be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
