R when towing thevehicle
R in the carwash
! Make
surethattheelectric parking brakeis
released .If the electric parking brakeisfaulty,
visit aqual ified speciali stworkshop.
! Only
secure thetow rope ortow baratthe
towing eyes.Otherwise, thevehicle couldbe
damage d.
! Do
not use thetowing eyesforrecovery pur-
poses asthis could damage thevehicle. Ifin
doubt, recover thevehicle withacrane.
! When
towing, pullawayslowly and
smoothly. Ifthe tractive poweristoo high, the
vehicles couldbedamage d.
! The
vehicle canbetowed amaximum of
30 miles (50km). Thetowing speedof30 mph
(50km/h) mustnotbeexceeded.
If the vehicle hastobe towed morethan
30 miles (50km), thefront axlemust beraised
or the entire vehicle raisedandtransported.
! Do
not tow with sling-type equipment. This
could damage thevehicle.
! When
towing awayvehicles withKEYLES S-
GO, usethekey instead ofthe Start/ Stop
button. Theautomatic transmission mayoth-
erwise shifttoposition 005Dwhen youopen the
driver's orfront -passenger door,which could
damage thetransmission.
! Vehicles
withautomatic transmission must
not bestarted bytow-start ing.This could oth-
erwise damage thetransmission.
It is better tohave thevehicle transported than
to have ittowed away.
If the vehicle cannolonger bedriven because of
an accident orbreakdown, youhave thefollow-
ing options:
R Transporting thevehicle.
As arule, youshould havethevehicle trans-

The battery mustbeconnec tedand charged.
Otherwise, you:
R cannot turntheSmartKey toposition 0048in

R cannot release theelectric parking brake.
R cannot shiftthetransmission toposition 005C.
The function ofthe electric parking brakeand
the parking lockisdependent onthe on-board
