02-9 Miscellaneous
Tow starting/Towing
♦A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the
above towing lugs.
♦The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle.
Therefore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufac-
tured in an equally elastic material. However, it is saf-
er to use a towing bar!
♦Make sure no unauthorised traction forces and no jolt-
ing loads are exerted. During towing manoeuvres
away from hardened road surfaces there is a risk of
overloading and damaging the fixation parts.
♦Before starting the engine by towing, first use the bat-
tery of another vehicle as a start aid.
Front: The threaded hole of the front towing lug is located
in the front right part of the bumper behind the cover grill.
Screw in the towing lug by hand by turning it to the left (in
the direction of the arrow) up to the stop.
Rear: The towing lug is located below the rear right part
of the bumper.
♦Comply with the legal regulations on towing.
♦Both drivers must be familiar with the specificities of
the towing process.
♦When using a towing rope the driver of the towing ve-
hicle must press the clutch very smoothly when driv-
ing off and changing gear.
♦The driver of the towed vehicle must make sure the
rope is kept taut.
♦The ignition must be switched on to ensure the steer-
ing wheel does not lock and the turn signals, horn,
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system
can be activated.
♦As the brake servo unit only operates with the engine
running, the brake pedal must be pressed much hard-
er when the engine is switched off.
♦On vehicles with power steering the steering is much
harder when the engine is switched off.
♦If there is no lubricant in the gearbox or automatic
gearbox the vehicle must only be towed with the drive
wheels raised.
When towing vehicles with a manual gearbox
pay attention to the following:
–Before towing engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
–Switch on ignition.
