Mercedes-Benz recommends transporting your
vehicle in the case of a breakdown, rather than
towing it away.
For towing with both axles on the ground, use a
tow rope or tow rod. Do not use tow bar systems.
If you notice that the vehicle has lost coolant, do
not have it towed away. Have the vehicle transpor-
ted instead.

ing away incorrectly
