Towing the vehicle
Note:
To signal turns while being towed with hazard warning
flasher in use, turn electronic key in steering lock to
position 2 and activate combination switch for left or
right turn signal in usual manner – only the selected
turn signal will operate.
Upon canceling the turn signal, the hazard warning
flasher will operate again.
Caution!
The vehicle must be towed with all 4 wheels off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised,
the engine must be shut off (electronic key in steering
lock position 0 or 1). Otherwise, the ESP will
immediately be engaged and will apply the rear wheel
brakes. With the front wheels raised, the maximum
speed and towing distance are 30 mph and 30 miles.
Switch off the tow-away alarm, see page 41, and the
automatic center locking on page 35.

Transmission selector lever, manually unlocking
In the case of power failure the transmission selector
lever can be manually unlocked, e.g. to tow the vehicle.
To do so, insert a pin (1), e.g. ball point pen, into the
covered opening below the position "D" of the shift
pattern. While pushing the pin down, move selector
lever from position "P".
After removal of the pin from the opening, the cover will
not close fully. Only after moving the selector lever to
positions "D+" and "D–" does the cover return to its
closed position.
