Towing the vehicle
NOTICE
Immediately go to a specialist workshop and
have the 12 volt battery checked.
Towing the vehicle
Introduction
It takes practice to tow a vehicle, especially
when using a tow cable. Both drivers should be
well informed of the special features of towing.
Inexperienced drivers should refrain from tow-
ing.
During towing, make sure at all times that no
inadmissible traction forces or jolts are gener-
ated. On roads without a firm surface there is
always the danger of overloading the attach-
ment parts.
Take into account the legal provisions regarding
tow starting and towing.
Tow start
Tow starting means starting a vehicle's engine
while another puts it in motion by pulling it.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow bar or
cable
Towing
Towing means a vehicle pulling another vehicle
that is not in a condition to run.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow bar or
cable.
The maximum permitted speed is 50km/h
(30 mph).
The maximum permitted distance is 50km
(30 miles).
Tow cable and tow bar
It is safer for the vehicle to be towed using a tow
bar, avoiding damage to the vehicle. The tow
cable 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.
Tow with a tow truck
If a breakdown lorry is used, vehicles with au-
tomatic 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 vehicle
is towed with the front or rear axle suspended,
the engine must be switched o, otherwise the
transmission may be damaged.
WARNING
During the towing of a vehicle, the driving
behaviour and braking capacity change con-
siderably.
WARNING
Never allow the vehicle to be towed if it has
no power.
When towing, never remove the key from
the ignition or disconnect the ignition with
the ignition and start button. Otherwise, the
electronic lock of the steering column could
suddenly get blocked and it would be impos-
sible to steer the vehicle. This could cause an
accident, serious injury and loss of control of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle runs out of power during tow-
ing, stop the process immediately and seek
the assistance of specialised personnel.
NOTICE
Towing the vehicle with a tow cable or a tow
bar can cause damage to the vehicle.
If the vehicle is towed with a tow cable or
tow bar, special care must be taken.
If possible, have the vehicle transported on
a tow truck.
