If you need to be towed
· Unlock the steering wheel lock so that the car
can be steered.
· Keep in mind the highest legally permis-

· Remember that the brake and power steering
servos do not function with the engine is
switched off! You must exert approximately
five times more pressure on the brake pedal
and steering is considerably harder than usual.
· Drive gently. Keep the towline taut to avoid
unnecessary jerking.
For automatic gearboxes
· The gear selector should be in position N.
· Maximum permitted speed for automatic
gearbox: 80 km/h.
Maximum permitted distance: 80 km
(50 miles).
· Cars equipped with automatic gearboxmust
only be towed facing forward.

To tow start (bump start)
the engine
If you tow start a car with a manual gearbox, the
three-way catalytic converter (TWC) can be
damaged. Cars with automatic gearboxes cannot
be tow started. Use a booster battery if the battery
is discharged.
* The method of opening the cover may vary
depending on the variant.
** Certain models: To be able to screw the
towing eye into place, you must first loosen a
plastic screw in the console for the rear towing
eye. Use the flange of the tool bag to loosen the
plastic screw. Rescrew the plastic screw after
use.
Towing eye
The towing eye is located in the tool kit in the
cargo compartment. You must screw the towing
eye into place before towing. The sockets and
covers for the towing eye are located on the right-
hand side of each bumper.
Remove the cover as follows:
A. Undo the cover* by carefully prising in the
groove with a coin or the like.
B. Screw the towing eye securely into place up
to the flange (C). You can use a wheelbrace.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and refit the
cover.
Towing
NOTE! The towing eye may only be used for
towing on the road, not for salvage after driving
into a ditch or similar. Professional help should
be called for salvage towing.
