Towing the vehicle

Caution
Incorrectly towing of a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should just be towed on a flatbed
car carrier.
Let the vehicle just be towed by
well trained technicians.
In emergencies if no car carrier is
available, the vehicle must not be
towed faster than 45 mph nor further
than 45 miles.
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
short edge of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver sidewards. To prevent
damage it is recommended to place a
cloth between the screwdriver and
the frame.
The towing eye is stowed in a storage
compartment under the floor cover of
the load compartment. 3 53.
Carefully disengage the cap with a
screwdriver.
Vehicle care
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still 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.
Set the shift lever of the electric drive
unit in N.
