Tow-
start
ing / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re­
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve­

hicle.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is aLways a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar / tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
not have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow-
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
Notes on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow-

rope.
When the engine is not running, the
gear­

box will not be adequately lubricated if the
fol­

lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob­

served:

- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
50 km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
50 km. •

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.

Bulbs
General notes
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical
skill.

LED*
lights are maintenance-free and cannot be

changed.
For repairs, please contact a qualified
workshop.
If
you
decide to change bulbs in the engine com­
partment yourself, be aware of the safety risks
involved
*
A in Working on components in the
engine compartment on page 295.
WARNING
- Take particular care when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment if the
engine is warm - risk of burns!
- Bulbs are sensitive to pressure. The glass
can break when you touch the bulb, causing
injury.
- When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp edges, in particu­
lar on the headlight housing.
© CAUTION
-Always switch off the ignition before carry­
ing out any work on the electrical system -
danger of short circuiting!
- Switch off the Lights or parking lights before
you change a bulb.
- Take good care to avoid damaging any com­
ponents.

- Make sure that the covers are correctly seat­
ed on the headlights and the rear lights.
This will ensure that water cannot enter the
housings and cause the lights to malfunc­

tion.

- Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare hands; use a cloth or paper towel

instead.
Otherwise, the fingerprints left on
the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat
generated by the bulb, be deposited on the
reflector and impair its surface.
© CAUTION
When removing or installing the rear light,
take care not to cause any damage.
- Removing the rear light in particular can
lead to the paintwork or rear light becoming

damaged.
This is another reason why we
recommend having the bulbs changed by a
qualified workshop.
- Never use metal tools (e.g. a screwdriver) or
sharp or pointed plastic tools to lever out
the rear light - risk of damaging the paint.
- Make sure you have a soft cloth ready to
place under the glass on the rear light, to
avoid any scratches.
® For the sake of the environment
A qualified workshop can advise you how to
dispose of used bulbs in the proper manner.
© Note
- Please check at regular intervals that
alL

lighting (especially the exterior Lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also in that of all other road users.
- Before changing a bulb, make sure you have
the correct new bulb.
