When towing the vehicle with all wheels
on the ground, note the following:
If circumstances require towing the vehicle
with all wheels on the ground, always tow
with a tow bar if:
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.
With the automatic central locking acti-
vated and the key in steering lock
position 2, the vehicle doors lock if the
left front wheel is turning at vehicle
speeds of approx. 9 mph (15 km/ h) or
more.

the ground, make certain that the key is in
steering lock position 2.

ing, deactivate the automatic central
locking (୴ page 93).
To signal turns while being towed with

vate combination switch for left or right
turn signal in usual manner – only the
selected turn signal will operate.
If the key is left in steering lock position 0
for an extended period of time, it can no

the steering is locked. To unlock, remove
