Tow the vehicle only with its front wheels off the ground ⇒  .
Special towing instructions for vehicles with all-wheel drive (4MOTION)
To help prevent unnecessary damage, vehicles with all-wheel drive (4MOTION) must be
transported on a flat-bed truck.
To load the vehicle on the flat bed, use the towing eye found in the vehicle tool kit and attach it to
the front anchorage
When not to tow your vehicle
If there is little or no oil in the transmission because of damage to your vehicle, it must be moved with
the drive wheels off the ground. The vehicle can only be towed if its ignition is switched on and its
electrical system is operating. In the following situations, the vehicle cannot be towed at all and must
be transported on a flatbed truck or trailer:
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
If the vehicle battery is dead (because the steering is locked and the electronic parking brake and
the electronic steering column lock cannot be released if engaged).
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than 30 miles (50 km).
WARNING
It is not safe for children or other persons to ride in a vehicle that is being towed.
Never let children or anyone else remain in the vehicle while it is being towed.
NOTICE
The drive axle rotates while the vehicle is being towed with its rear wheels off the ground. This
can damage the automatic transmission.
Never tow automatic transmission vehicle with the rear wheels off the ground.
Tow manual transmission vehicles with the rear wheels off the ground only if it is certain
that no transmission fluid can leak out.
Tips on towing
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Towing eye; tow rope or tow bar
A towing eye is included in your vehicle's tool kit. This can be inserted in a threaded hole in the front
bumper and used when your vehicle is being towed by another vehicle. On most vehicles, there is
another threaded hole in the rear bumper, so you can use the towing eye to tow other vehicles as well.
Towing a vehicle with a tow bar is safer and easier on both vehicles than using a tow rope. A tow rope
should be used only if a tow bar is not available.
The tow rope should be flexible enough to help protect both vehicles from damage. Use a synthetic
fiber rope or similar rope.
Attach the tow rope or tow bar only to the towing eye included in the vehicle tool kit for this purpose, or
to a trailer hitch.
Towing manual transmission vehicles
Check whether your vehicle can be towed at all; see below When not to tow your vehicle.
If yes, note the following for the towed vehicle:
