Towing the vehicle
Warning!
Important!
When towing the vehicle, please, note the following:
With the automatic central locking activated and the
electronic key in starter switch position 2 (vehicles with
KEYLESS-GO: in “On” position, see page 230), the
vehicle doors lock if the left front wheel as well as the
right rear wheel are turning at vehicle speeds of approx.
9 mph (15 km/h) or more.
Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground, make certain that the electronic key is in
starter switch position 2.
If the electronic key is left in the starter switch
position 0 for an extended period of time, it can no
longer be turned in the switch. In this case, the
steering is locked. To unlock, remove electronic key
from starter switch and reinsert.
To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking,
deactivate the automatic central locking.This can be
adjusted in the individual setting menu “VEHICLE” –
“AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK”. See page 144.
Towing of the vehicle should only be done using the
properly installed towing eye bolt. Never attach tow
cable, tow rope or tow rod to vehicle chassis, frame
or suspension parts.
Note:
The selector lever will remain locked in position “P” and
the electronic key cannot be turned in the starter switch
if the battery is disconnected or discharged. See battery
on page 352 or jump starting on page 355.
