9.1

Tow starting/Towing

Note
A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the appro‐
♦
priate towing lugs.
The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle. There‐
♦
fore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufactured in an
equally elastic material. However, it is safer to use a towing
bar!
Make sure no unauthorised traction forces or no jolting loads
♦
are exerted. During towing manoeuvres away from hardened
road surfaces there is a risk of overloading and damaging of
the fastening parts.
Before starting the engine by towing, first use the battery of
♦
another vehicle as a start aid.
