Practical hints

Towing the vehicle

왔 Towing the vehicle

Mercedes-Benz recommends that the vehi-

cle be transported with all wheels off the

ground using flatbed or appropriate wheel

lift/dolly equipment. This method is pref-

erable to other types of towing.

When circumstances do not permit the

recommended towing methods, the vehi-

cle may be towed with all wheels on the

ground or front wheels raised only so far as

necessary to have the vehicle moved to a

safe location where the recommended

towing methods can be employed.

!

Use flatbed or wheel lift/dolly equip-

ment with SmartKey in starter switch

turned to position 0.

Do not tow with sling-type equipment.

Towing with sling-type equipment over

bumpy roads will damage radiator and

supports.

To prevent damage during transport,

do not tie down vehicle by its chassis or

suspension parts.

Switch off the tow-away alarm

(

컄 page 84) and the automatic central

locking (

컄 page 153).

Do not tow-start the vehicle.

!

If the vehicle is towed with the front

axle raised, the engine must be shut off

(SmartKey in starter switch position 0

or 1). Otherwise, the ESP will immedi-

ately be engaged and will apply the rear

wheel brakes.

When towing the vehicle with all wheels

on the ground, the selector lever must

be in position N and the SmartKey

must be in starter switch position 2.

When towing the vehicle with all wheels

on the ground or the front axle raised,

the vehicle may be towed only for dis-

tances up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a

speed not to exceed 30 mph

(50 km/h).
