Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar
with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
Ensure that no excessive pulling forces occur and take care to avoid jerking movements. When
towing offroad, there is always a risk of overloading the anchorage points.
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
Tow-starting
Tow-starting describes the procedure for starting the vehicle by moving it using another towing
vehicle.
The vehicle can be tow-started with a tow-bar or a tow-rope.
Towing
Towing is where a vehicle that cannot be driven is pulled with the aid of another vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or a tow-rope. When the engine is stopped, the gearbox is
not lubricated sufficiently at higher speeds and over long distances:
km/h (30 mph).
km.
Tow rope, tow bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. Use a tow rope only if you do not have a tow
bar.
The tow rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the strain on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a
tow rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Towing with a tow truck
If your vehicle is to be raised on one axle for towing, this may only be done using the following axles
according to the gearbox/drive combination:
Front-wheel drive
Manual gearboxFront or rear axleAutomatic gearboxFront axle

WARNING
If a vehicle is being towed, the vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change significantly.

For technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-started. Attempt to start the engine by jump
starting ⇒ Jump starting .
Vehicles with a manual gearbox:
Tow-starting is generally not recommended. If the engine does not start, first attempt to start the
engine by jump starting ⇒ Jump starting . Please note that the maximum tow-starting distance for
petrol engines is 50 m.

Washer fluid

Fig. 185 In the engine compartment: cap on the washer fluid reservoir.
The washer fluid level should be checked regularly and topped up as necessary.
A strainer is located in the neck of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps large dirt particles
away from the windscreen washer jets when refilling. The strainer should be removed for only
cleaning. If the strainer is damaged or is not present when refilling, dirt particles can enter the
system and block the washer jets.

Tyre pressure for the tyres on the rear axle.
Note: check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressure for partial load.
Vehicle-dependent: comfort tyre pressure for partial load.

Tyre pressure level for the spare or temporary spare wheel.
The sticker provides the correct tyre pressure for approved tyres and is located either on the driver
door pillar ⇒ Fig. 195  or inside the tank flap.
The appearance of the sticker may differ between vehicles. It may include additional tyre sizes.
The wrong tyre pressure will have a negative effect on the vehicle handling and leads to high levels
of wear or even a burst tyre ⇒ . The correct tyre pressure is particularly important at high speeds.
Comfort tyre pressure
Depending on the vehicle, the tyre pressure sticker may show details of a comfort tyre pressure
