General notes
In most cases it is no longer possible to change a bulb without
having to remove other vehicle parts. This is particularly the case
for bulbs which can only be accessed through the engine
compartment. Special skills are needed for this.
For this reason, the bulbs should always be changed by Technical
Service Centre or qualified personnel.

.• Both drivers must be familiar with towing procedures.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow start or tow.
• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must
engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow-
rope is always taut.
• The emergency lights must be switched on in both vehicles –
unless local regulations differ.
• Turn ignition on so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the windscreen wiper and washer
can be used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running,
considerably more pressure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running.
• More force than usual will be required to turn the steering wheel
as the power assisted steering does not work when engine is not
running.
• When there is no lubricant in the manual or automatic gearbox,
the vehicle may only be towed with driving wheels lifted.
