!

When towing, pull away slowly and

smoothly. If the tractive power is too high,

the vehicles could be damaged.

!

Do not tow with sling-type equipment.

This could damage the vehicle.

!

When towing vehicles with KEYLESS-GO,

use the key instead of the Start/Stop

button. Otherwise, the automatic

transmission may shift to position P when

the driver's or front-passenger door are

opened, which could lead to damage to the

transmission.

!

The vehicle can be towed a maximum of

30 miles (50km). The towing speed of

30 mph (50 km/h) must not be exceeded.

If the vehicle has to be towed more than

30 miles (50km), the entire vehicle must be

raised and transported.

HYBRID vehicles: make sure that you read

the "HYBRID" supplement included in the

vehicle literature. You could otherwise fail to

recognize dangers e.g. due to high voltage.

It is better to have the vehicle transported

than to have it towed.

If the vehicle has suffered transmission

damage, have it transported on a transporter

or trailer.

The automatic transmission must be in

position N when the vehicle is being towed.

The battery must be connected and charged.

the ignition lock
