Towing
G
Risk of accident
Have the vehicle towed using a rigid towing
bar if:
the engine is not running
there is a brake system malfunction
there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply or the vehicle's electrical system
There is no power assistance for the steer-
ing and the brake system when the engine is
not running. You will then require considera-
bly more force to steer and to brake.
When towing or tow-starting another vehi-
cle, its weight should not be greater than the
permissible gross weight of your vehicle
( page 496).
The transmission is in position P when the
consumer battery is not connected.
Observe the legal requirements for each
individual country when towing.
Having the vehicle carried away on a trans-
porter or trailer is preferable to towing it.
We recommend the use of a rigid towing
bar if towing is necessary.
!
Make sure that the parking brake is not ap-
plied. Release the parking brake if necessary. If
the parking brake is faulty, release the parking
brake manually ( page 449).
!
When towing, pull away slowly and smooth-
ly. Too much tractive force could damage either
of the vehicles. Do not use the towing eye for re-
covery purposes.
!
You may only tow the vehicle a maximum of
50 km. A maximum towing speed of 50 km/h
must not be exceeded.
The propeller shafts to the driven axles must be
removed if towing for more than 50 km.
!
For vehicles with KEYLESS GO, insert the
key into the ignition lock under the KEYLESS GO
button and turn the ignition key to position 0.

Practical advice
Points to remember
Before towing the vehicle, make sure that
the battery is connected and charged. Oth-
erwise:
you cannot switch on the ignition
you cannot shift the transmission to N
using the selector lever
you have no support when braking and
steering
you will have to use the ignition lock
underneath the KEYLESS GO button*
( page 225) on vehicles with
KEYLESS GO*
Tow-starting the vehicle is not permit-
ted.
If the engine does not start, try jump-
starting it ( page 475).
If it is not possible to jump-start the
vehicle, have it towed to the nearest
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller
shaft disconnected.
