Towing and tow-starting

Important safety notes

Observe the legal requirements for the rele-

vant countries when towing and tow-starting.

WARNING

If the steering wheel lock is engaged, the vehi-

cle can no longer be steered. There is a risk

of an accident.

Always switch on the ignition when towing

with a tow rope or a towing bar.

WARNING

If the weight of the vehicle to be towed or tow-

started is greater than the permissible gross

weight of your vehicle:

the towing eye could detach itself

the vehicle/trailer combination could over-

turn.

There is a risk of an accident.

When towing or tow-starting another vehicle,

its weight should not be greater than the per-

missible gross weight of your vehicle.

Information on your vehicle's gross vehicle

weight rating can be found on the vehicle

identification plate (Y page 372).

If DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD function

is activated, the vehicle brakes automati-

cally in certain situations. To prevent dam-

age to the vehicle, deactivate DISTRONIC

PLUS and the HOLD function in the follow-

ing or other similar situations:

when towing the vehicle

in the car wash

You may tow the vehicle for a maximum

of 50km. A towing speed of 50 km/h must

not be exceeded.

For towing distances over 50 km, the entire

vehicle must be lifted up and transported.

Only secure the tow rope or towing bar to

the towing eyes. The vehicle may otherwise

be damaged.

Do not use the towing eyes for recovery

purposes as this could damage the vehicle.

If in doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.

Pull away smoothly when towing away or

tow-starting a vehicle. If the tractive power

is too high, the vehicles could be damaged.

On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, use the

key instead of the Start/Stop button. Turn

the key to position 2 in the ignition lock and

shift the automatic transmission to N.

Then, turn the key back to 0 and leave it in

the ignition lock.

It is better to have the vehicle transported

than to have it towed.
