Rear towing eye
Before using the rear towing eye,
remove the cover. After use,
reinstall the cover to its original
position.
When towing always drive off slowly
and smoothly without jerking the
towing vehicle. Excessive tow rope
tension could result in damage to
either vehicle.
Note: Observe the safety
regulations that are valid for towing
a vehicle depending on country.
Roadside emergencies
The ignition key must be set
to position II when the
vehicle is being towed so that the
steering, direction indicator lights
and brake lights are fully
operational. Since the brake servo
and the power steering do not
operate with the engine switched
off, you will need to exert greater
force to the brake pedal and
steering wheel. Make allowances
for the increased braking distance
and heavier steering.
Towing vehicles with Durashift
EST
When a vehicle with Durashift EST
is towed, N (Neutral) must be
selected.
