Screw in the towing eye anti-clockwise as
far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope 3 – or better still a tow
rod 3 – to the eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing, not for recovering the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
column lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper.
Vehicles with the Open&Start system 3
must not be towed when the battery is
discharged because the steering column
lock cannot be released. Towing is only
possible with the ignition switched on. Use
jump leads to start the engine if necessary.
Manual transmission or Easytronic 3 in
neutral, automatic transmission 3 in N.
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive
tractive force can damage the vehicle.
To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from
the towing vehicle, switch on the air
recirculation 3 and close the windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 3
should be towed facing forward only and
must not be towed faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h) or further than 60 miles (100 km).
If the transmission is defective, or if the
above speed or distance is to be exceeded,
the front axle must be raised off the
ground.
Contact a workshop for assistance.
On vehicles with Easytronic 3, if the
automatic clutch has been released
manually on a power failure, towing is not
possible, see page 183. In this case contact
a workshop immediately for assistance.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
clockwise and refit the cover.
Towing service
Entrust your vehicle only to the towing
service of your choice and obtain an
estimate on towing costs before employing
any towing service. In this way you avoid
unnecessary costs and possible insurance
problems during claim processing.
9 Warning
For braking and steering, significantly
higher forces are required: brake
assistance and steering assistance are
effective only with the engine running.
