Towing instructions
Towing requires some expertise and experi-
ence, especially when using a tow rope. 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 op-
erated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile,
the hazard warning lights will go off. When
the turn signal lever is returned to the rest
position, the hazard warning lights will be au-
tomatically reactivated.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
Leave the ignition on, so that the steering
is not blocked, and the electronic parking
brake may be deactivated and the turn sig-
nals and wash/wipe operated.
More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not oper-
ate when the engine is switched off.
You should depress the brake much harder
as the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions in the manual of the vehicle to be tow-
ed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
Accelerate with particular care and cau-
tion. Avoid sharp manoeuvres.
Brake earlier than usual and smoothly.
Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions in the manual of the towed vehicle.
Tow rope or tow bar
It is safer for the vehicle to be towed using a
tow bar, avoiding damage to the vehicle. A
tow rope should only be used if a tow bar is
not available.
A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or
similarly elastic material.
Only attach the tow rope or the tow bar to
the towing eyes provided or a towing bracket.
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted towing de-
vice, towing with a tow bar is only permitted
if it has been specially designed to be instal-
led on a tow hitch
page 291 .
When the vehicle has to be towed:
Check whether the vehicle may be towed
page 56, Cases where towing the vehi-
cle is not permitted.
The vehicle can be towed using a tow bar or
tow rope in the normal way, with all four
wheels on the road; it can also be towed with
either the front or rear wheels lifted off the
road.
Switch the ignition on.
Move the selector lever to the N
page 218 position.
Do not allow the vehicle to be towed at
speeds of over 50 km/h (30 mph).
The vehicle must not be towed further
than 50 km (30 miles).
If a breakdown lorry is used, vehicles with
automatic transmission are only allowed to
be towed with the front wheels suspended.
Towing vehicles with four-wheel drive
(4Drive)
Four-wheel drive vehicles (4Drive) can be
towed using a tow bar or tow rope. If the ve-
hicle is towed with the front or rear axle sus-
pended, the engine must be switched off,
otherwise the transmission may be dam-
aged. »
