Towing

There is a lack of servo assistance when the engine is not running. Considerably higher forces are then required for braking and steering.

The engine must not run when towing with the front axle raised.

Transporting on a transporter or trailer is preferable to towing. If the vehicle has to be towed we recommend using a tow bar.

The following instructions must be followed:
Axles not raised:
- Key in ignition lock in position I
- Automatic transmission selector lever in position "N"
- Towing speed max. 50 km/h
- Towing distance max. 50 km

CAUTION: This can result in transmission damage if the max. towing speed or max. towing distance is exceeded

One axle raised:
- Ignition OFF: otherwise ETS/ESP control
- Only tow with propeller shafts disconnected at the flanges over longer distances or if there is transmission damage.

Tow starting
- The engine cannot be emergency-started by towing.
