Towing The Vehicle - Mercedes-Benz 1989 560 SL Owner's Manual

Towing the Vehicle
The front towing eye is located on
the passenger-side below the air-
dam and the rear towing eye on the
passenger-side below the bumper.
We recommend that the vehicle be
transported using flat bed equip-
ment. This method is preferable
over other types of towing.
The vehicle may be towed with all
wheels on the ground and the
selector lever in position "N" for
distances up to 120 km (75 miles)
and at a speed not to exceed
50 km/h (30 mph).
To positively avoid a possibility of
damage to the transmission,
however, we recommend to discon-
nect the drive shaft at the rear axle
drive flange on any towing beyond
a short tow to a nearby garage.
Do not tow with sling-type equip-
ment.
Towing with sling-type equipment
will damage radiator and supports.
Use wheel lift or flat bed equipment
only.
