Towing a vehicle with both axles on the ground
When having your vehicle towed, observe the important safety notes.
WARNING
The power assistance for the steering and the
brake force booster do not work when the
engine is not running. You will then need
much more effort to brake and steer the
vehicle. Adapt your style of driving
accordingly.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
When towing with the hazard
warning
lamps switched on, use the combination
switch as usual to signal a change of
direction. In this case, only the turn signals
for the desired direction flash. When the
combination switch is reset, the hazard
warning lamps start flashing again.
Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
When the vehicle is stationary, depress the
brake pedal and keep it depressed.
Shift the automatic transmission to
position N.
Release the brake pedal.
Release the parking brake.
