WARNING
There is high risk of having an accident when tow-starting a vehicle, when for
example the towed vehicle runs into the towing vehicle.
Caution
Vehicles which are fitted with a catalytic converter should not be tow-started over a
distance of more than 50 metres. Unburnt fuel may get into the catalytic converter and
damage it.

Please refer to the additional instructions  page 192.
The vehicle can be towed in with a tow bar or a tow rope or with the front or rear
wheels raised. The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
Towing of a vehicle with an automatic gearbox
Please refer to the additional instructions  page 192.
The car can be towed in with a tow bar or a tow rope. Refer at the same time to the
following guidelines:

Move selector lever into N.

The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.

The maximum permissible towing distance is 50 km. The gear oil pump does not
operate when the engine is not running; the gearbox would not be adequately lubri-
cated at higher speeds and over longer towing distance.

wheels raised. If the vehicle is raised at rear, the automatic gearbox is damaged!
