Towing Another Vehicle - Suzuki Movano Owner's Manual

Caution
Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear. The front towing eye must
only be used for towing and not
recovering a vehicle.
Switch on ignition to permit operation
of brake lights, horn and windscreen
wipers, and move the steering wheel
slightly to release the steering wheel
lock.
Switch off the air suspension system
3 231.
Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 253, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake
during towing.
Move the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Vehicles with manual
transmission automated: If neutral
cannot be selected, the vehicle
must only be towed with the drive
wheels raised off the ground.
The vehicle should always be
towed with the ignition switched
off.
Manual transmission automated
3 241.
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 fumes
from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 209 and
close the windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Vehicle care
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and refit the cover.

Towing another vehicle

Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye, never to
the rear axle and suspension units.
Caution
The rear towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering
a vehicle.
