The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer
if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-
ing distance is greater than 50 km.
Driver of the tow vehicle›
On vehicles with manual transmission , engage gear slowly when starting.
›
On vehicles with automatic transmission , accelerate with particular care.
›
Only then approach correctly when the rope is taut.
Driver of the towed vehicle
›
If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the engine running. Operate the
brake booster and power steering only if the engine is running, otherwise
the brake pedal must be depressed more strongly and more power has to be
directed to the steering.
›
If it is not possible to start the engine, switch on the ignition so that the
steering wheel is not locked and so that the turn signal lights, windscreen
wipers and windscreen washer system can be used.
›
Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the
vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
›
Always keep the tow rope taut during the towing procedure.
WARNING■ Wound tow ropes must not be used for towing » Fig. 340-  , the towing
eye may unscrew out of the vehicle - risk of accident.■
Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! The battery from
another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid » page 287, Jump-starting .■
In the case of off-road towing manoeuvres, for both vehicles there is the risk
that the fastening parts could be overloaded and damaged.
Note
We recommend that you use the tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories.Front towing eyeFig. 341
