Note
If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as described above, or if it has
to be towed further than 50 km, it must be transported on a special
car transporter or trailer.
Towing a vehicle with automatic gearbox and
four-wheel drive
Certain restrictions must be observed when towing your
vehicle.
Please observe the notes ⇒ page 267.
The vehicle can be towed with a towbar or towrope in the normal
way, with all four wheels on the ground. When doing so, please note
the following points:
Release the parking brake ⇒ page 121.
Make sure the selector lever is in the N position.
The vehicle must not be towed faster than 50 km/h.
The vehicle must not be towed further than 50 km. The reason
for this is: when the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump
does not work and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for
higher speeds or longer distances.
The vehicle must not be towed with the wheels lifted at either the
front or rear.
Note
If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as described above, or if it has
to be towed further than 50 km, it must be transported on a special
car transporter or trailer.
