Vehicles with automatic transmission may be towed in with a tow bar or a tow

rope or with the front wheels raised. If the vehicle is raised at rear, the auto-

matic gearbox is damaged!

Driver of the tow vehicle

›

Engage the clutch gently when starting off or depress the accelerator partic-

ularly gently if the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.

›

Only then approach correctly when the rope is taut.

The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.

Driver of the towed vehicle

›

Switch on the ignition so that the steering wheel is not locked and so that

the turn-signal lights, windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system can

be used.

›

Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the

vehicle is fitted with an automated transmission.

Please note that the brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the

engine is running. If the engine is not running, significantly more physical force

is required to depress the brake pedal and steer the vehicle.

If using a tow rope, ensure that it is always kept taught.

Both drivers should be familiar with the problems which might occur while a

vehicle is being towed. Unskilled drivers should not attempt to tow in another

vehicle or to be towed in.

The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer if it

is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the towing dis-

tance is greater than 50 km.

WARNING

■

When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those

which relate to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle be-

ing towed.

■

When towing, exercise increased caution.

■

Do not use spiral rope for towing » Fig. 118-



, the towing eye may un-

screw from the vehicle - risk of accident.

■

Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.

CAUTION

■

Do not start engine by towing - there is a risk of damaging the engine parts.

The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid » page 127,

Jump-starting.

■

If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle

raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.

■

To protect both vehicles when tow-starting or towing, the tow rope should

be elastic. Thus one should only use plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a

similarly elastic material.

■

There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage resulting at the

points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt to tow a

vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.

■

Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the towing eye » page 129.

Note

We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories, which is

available from a ŠKODA Partner.

Emergency equipment and self-help

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
