Start assistance
Use a donor battery if the battery is discharged
and the engine does not start. Do not tow the
car to bump start the engine, see page 181.
IMPORTANT
Bump starting the car can damage the cat-
alytic converter.
Towing
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for
towing before towing begins.
1.
Turn the remote control key to position II
and unlock the steering lock so that the car
can be steered, see page 155.
2. The key must remain in the ignition switch
while the car is being towed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle reduces speed by holding your foot
gently pressed on the brake pedal -
thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.
WARNING
The steering lock must be unlocked
before towing - the lock stays in the
position it was in when the voltage was
disconnected.
The remote control key must be in key
position II - in position I all airbags are
deactivated.
Never remove the key from the ignition
switch when the car is being towed.
NOTE
If the car is de-energised then the steering
lock must be unlocked using a donor bat-
tery before towing can be started.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off. The
brake pedal must be pressed about five
times harder than normal, and the steering
will be considerably heavier than normal.
Manual gearbox
Prior to towing:
Move gear lever into neutral and release
the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox Geartronic
Prior to towing:
Move the gear selector to position N and
release the parking brake.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with
the wheels rolling forward.
Cars with automatic gearbox must not
be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or
further than 80 km.
Automatic gearbox Powershift
The model with Powershift transmission
should not be towed as it is dependent on the
engine running in order to receive sufficient
lubrication. If towing still has to take place, the
route must be as short as possible and then
with very low speed.
In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not
the car is equipped with Powershift transmis-
sion, this can be verified by checking the des-
ignation on the decal number (5) under the
bonnet - see page 286. The designation
"MPS6" means that it is Powershift transmis-
sion - otherwise it is Geartronic transmission.
