© CAUTION
Do not use the negative battery terminal
when jump-starting (this could cause a
mal­

function in the on-board electrical system).
- Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the bat­
tery terminals.
- The vehicle battery is vented to the outside
to prevent gases entering the vehicle's inte­
rior.

Tow-
start
ing / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re­
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve­

hicle.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is aLways a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar / tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
not have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow-
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
Notes on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow-

rope.
When the engine is not running, the
gear­

box will not be adequately lubricated if the
fol­

lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob­

served:

- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
50 km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
50 km. •

If one of the axles has to be raised in order to
tow the vehicLe, please refer to the following ta­
ble to determine the appropriate axle
for
your
gearbox/drive combination:
Manual
gearbox
Automatic
gearbox
Front-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Four-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: If the
vehicle is to be towed with one of the axles

raised,
the ignition must be switched off; other­
wise the drive train can be damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox: For
technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-

started.

Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: As a
general rule, tow-starting is not recommended.
If the engine will not start, it is best to try start­
ing it using the battery of another vehicle

*>page
326 before attempting to tow start. If
this is not possible, you can try to push-start or
tow-start the vehicle
*page
330, Tow-starting.
A WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.

UTION

- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de­
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position
P
if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. Before the vehicle can be recov­
ered/manoeuvred you must manually re­
lease the selector lever; left-hand drive
