Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar
with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
Ensure that no excessive pulling forces occur and take care to avoid jerking movements. When
towing offroad, there is always a risk of overloading the anchorage points.
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
Tow-starting
Tow-starting describes the procedure for starting the vehicle by moving it using another towing
vehicle.
The vehicle can be tow-started with a tow-bar or a tow-rope.
Towing
Towing is where a vehicle that cannot be driven is pulled with the aid of another vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or a tow-rope. When the engine is stopped, the gearbox is
not lubricated sufficiently at higher speeds and over long distances:
km/h (30 mph).
km.
Tow rope, tow bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. Use a tow rope only if you do not have a tow
bar.
The tow rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the strain on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a
tow rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Towing with a tow truck
If your vehicle is to be raised on one axle for towing, this may only be done using the following axles
according to the gearbox/drive combination:
Front-wheel drive
Manual gearboxFront or rear axleAutomatic gearboxFront axle

WARNING
If a vehicle is being towed, the vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change significantly.

Depress and hold the brake pedal until you have switched off the ignition.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Move the gear lever to neutral position Manual gearbox: selecting a gear or move the selector lever

Wheels and tyres
Tyre monitoring system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator 
⇒ Troubleshooting for Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator 
The tyre monitoring system warns the driver when the tyre pressures are too low.
The tyre monitoring system monitors various parameters (for example, rolling circumference) of all
wheels using ABS sensors (indirect measurement).

WARNING
The intelligent tyre monitoring system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Incorrect handling of the wheels and tyres can lead to
a sudden loss of pressure in the tyres, tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
