This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Notes on tow-starting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 446

Observe any legal requirements when towing.
For technical reasons, vehicles with a dis-charged battery must not be tow-started.
Towing a vehicle when the engine is switched off and the ignition is switched on discharges the vehi-cle battery. Depending on the vehicle battery charge level, the drop in voltage can be large enough after just a few minutes that electrical con-sumers in the vehicle will no longer function, e.g. the hazard warning lights.
Additional information and warnings:
• Exterior views =>page 5
• Changing gear =>page 257
• Engine management system and exhaust puri-fication system =>page 407
• Jump starting =>page 443
A wARNING
Never tow a vehicle that has no power sup-ply.
• Never remove the key from the ignition. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle. This can lead to a loss of control of the vehi-cle, accidents and serious injuries.
