Practical hints

Towing the vehicle

Towing with all wheels on the ground

왘 Switch on the ignition.

왘 Shift the automatic transmission to

neutral position N.

왘 If engaged, manually release the

electronic parking brake.

Warning! G

If circumstances require towing the vehicle

with all wheels on the ground, always tow

with a tow bar if:

앫 the engine will not run

앫 there is a malfunction in the brake

system

앫 there is a malfunction in the power sup-

ply or in the vehicle’s electrical system

This is necessary to adequately control the

towed vehicle.

Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on

the ground, make certain the SmartKey is in

starter switch position 2.

Warning! G

With the engine not running, there is no

power assistance for the brake and steering

systems. In this case, it is important to keep

in mind that a considerably higher degree of

effort is necessary to brake and steer the ve-

hicle. Adapt your driving accordingly.

Keep in mind that it is important to have the

ignition switched on. As soon as the SmartKey is

removed from the starter switch or the SmartKey

with KEYLESS-GO* is removed from the vehicle,

the automatic transmission will shift to park

position P.

The vehicle may be towed only for distances

up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a speed not to ex-

ceed 30 mph (50 km/h).

To signal turns while being towed with the

hazard warning flasher in use, the ignition must

be switched on. You can then activate the com-

bination switch for the left or right turn signal in

the usual manner – only the selected turn signal

will operate.

Upon canceling the turn signal, the hazard warn-

ing flasher will operate again.
