If using a tow rope, ensure that it is always kept taught.
CAUTION
Do not tow start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and the
■
catalytic converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-
start aid » page 207, Jump-starting.
If the gearbox no longer contains any oil because of a defect, your vehicle
■
must only be towed with the driven wheels raised clear of the ground or on a
special breakdown vehicle or trailer.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer if it
■
is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the towing dis-
tance is greater than 50 km.
To protect both vehicles when tow-starting or towing, the tow rope should
■
be elastic. Thus one should only use plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a
similarly elastic material.
While towing, take care to avoid impermissibly high tensile forces or jerky
■
loads. There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage resulting at the
points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt to tow a
vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar to the towing eyes
■
towing eye or » page 210, Rear towing eye to the detachable ball head of the
towing equipment » page 163.
Note
We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories, which is
■
available from a ŠKODA Partner.
Towing another vehicle requires a certain amount of practice. Both drivers
■
should be familiar with the particular points about towing a vehicle. Unskilled
drivers should not attempt to tow in another vehicle or to be towed in.
When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those which
■
relate to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed.
The tow rope must not be twisted as it may in certain circumstances result in
■
the front towing eye being unscrewed out of your vehicle.
