We recommend that the vehicle be transported using
flat bed equipment. This method is preferable to other
types of towing.
Warning!
With the engine not running, there is no power
assistance for the braking 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 vehicle.
Important!
To prevent damage during transport, do not tie down
vehicle by its chassis or suspension parts.
Note:
Towing restrictions for vehicles with automatic
transmission:
To signal turns while being towed with hazard warning
flasher in use, turn electronic key in starter switch to
position 2 and activate combination switch for left or
right turn signal in usual manner – only the selected
turn signal will operate.
The vehicle may be towed with all wheels on the ground
and the selector lever in position “N” for distances up to
30
miles (50 km) and at a speed not to exceed 30 mph
km/h). The electronic key must be in starter switch
(50
position 2.
Upon canceling the turn signal, the hazard warning
flasher will operate again.
To be certain to avoid a possibility of damage to the
transmission, however, we recommend the drive shaft
be disconnected at the rear axle drive flange for any
towing beyond a short tow to a nearby garage.
Caution!
If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised, the
engine must be shut off (electronic key in starter switch
position 0 or 1). Otherwise, the ESP will immediately be
engaged and will apply the rear wheel brakes.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Towing with
sling-type equipment over bumpy roads will damage
radiator and supports.
Switch off the tow-away alarm (see page 47) as well as
the ESP (see page 278).
Use wheel lift, dolly, or flat bed equipment, with
electronic key in starter switch turned to position 0.
