192 Vehicle care
Please observe the following
procedures when towing a vehicle:
■ No passenger should remain in the
vehicle being towed.
■ Release the parking brake of the
towed vehicle and place the
transmission gear in neutral.
■ Switch on the emergency warning
lights.
■ Keep the speed limits.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured
to the emergency towing eye.
Disengage cap by pressing and
remove the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 216.
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.
Transmission in neutral.
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.
