Emergencies

●As the driver of the towing vehicle:

–Accelerate with particular care and

caution.

–Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.

–Brake earlier than usual and more

smoothly.

●To avoid damaging the vehicle, for exam-

ple the paint, remove and replace the lid

and towing eye carefully.

●Unburnt fuel could enter the catalytic

converter and damage it during towing.

Instructions for tow-starting

Vehicle's should not generally be tow-

started. The jump start should be used in-

stead ››› page 47.

For technical reasons, towing the following

vehicles is not allowed:

●Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.

●If the vehicle battery is discharged, be-

cause in vehicles with the Keyless Access

locking and ignition system the steering re-

mains locked and the electronic parking

brake cannot be deactivated nor can the

electronic lock of the steering column be re-

leased if they are activated.

●If the battery is flat, it is possible that the

engine control units may not operate correct-

ly.

However, if the vehicle must absolutely be

tow-started (in the case of manual gear-

boxes):

●Engage the 2nd or 3rd gear.

●Keep the clutch pressed down.

●Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-

ing lights of both vehicles.

●Once both vehicles are moving, release the

clutch.

●Once the engine starts, press the clutch

and disengage the gear to avoid colliding

with the towing vehicle.

CAUTION

●When tow-starting, unburnt fuel could

enter the catalytic converter and damage

it.

●Do not tow a vehicle for more than 50 m

in attempt to start it. There is risk of dam-

age to the catalytic converter.

Note

The vehicle can only be tow-started if the

electronic parking brake and, if appropri-

ate, the electronic lock of the steering col-

umn are deactivated. If the vehicle has no

power supply or there is an electric system

fault, the engine must be tow-started to de-

activate the electronic parking brake and

the electronic lock of the steering column.

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 oper-

ated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile, the

hazard warning lights will go off. When the

turn signal lever is returned to the rest posi-

tion, the hazard warning lights will be auto-

matically 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 signals and

wash/wipe operated.
