Towing
The towing eye is located in the tool tray in the
rear of the car.
To tow another vehicle, the towing eye must
be screwed into the hole in the rear bumper
above the rear number plate. Always screw
the towing eye right in.
Should it be necessary for your Porsche to be
towed, the towing eye must be screwed into
the right hole beside the cooling radiator, at
the front of the car. The plastic stopper must
first be removed.

Always take into account the necessary laws
governing towing.
When you tow another vehicle, it must not be
heavier than your Porsche.
During towing, always keep the tow rope taut,
but avoid sudden jerks on the rope. The vehicle
being towed should have the ignition turned
on so that the brake and direction indicator
lights function, and that the steering lock is re-
leased.
Remember, when the engine is not running,
that no servo assistance is given, and more
power is required for braking and steering.
For towing vehicles fitted with automatic
transmission please adhere to the regula-
tions to be found in the sections "Automa-
tic Transmission".
Tow or push starting
If your Porsche is fitted with an automatic gear-
box, it can be tow or push started with the ig-
nition switched on.
In order to do this, the selector lever must be
shifted to position N, the vehicle must be ac-
celerated to approx. 60 km/h, at which speed
the selector lever must be shifted to position 2
without the acclerator pedal being depressed.
If the battery is defective or completely flat,
the engine can only be started by replacing
the battery or using jumper cables.
