268 Vehicle care
Screw in the towing eye clockwise as
far as it will go.
Attach a tow rope – or better a tow rod
– to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 190, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake
during towing.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases
from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 80 km/h nor
further than 100 km. In all other cases
and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
When towing a BEV or a vehicle
equipped with an automatic
transmission, transport the vehicle on
a platform or tow it with the front
wheels lifted.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cover cap again.
Propulsion types 3 4.
