wheel lock cannot be disengaged and the car is
not steerable. Jump starting, refer to page 204.
Power steering assistance is not available when
the engine is not running. Thus, braking and
steering will require increased effort.<

sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated
stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as
attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could

Towing methods
In come countries, it is illegal to tow your vehicle
with a tow bar or tow rope on public highways.
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck
with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.
Please familiarize yourself with the relevant
towing regulations for the country in which you
are driving.
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or
body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-
age may result.<
With a tow bar
Tow-starting
The towing vehicle must not be lighter
than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may
be impossible to maintain control.<
Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi-
ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to
page 204. Vehicles with a catalytic converter
should only be tow-started when the engine is
cold; vehicles with an automatic transmission
cannot be tow-started at all.
The tow fittings used should be on the same
side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi-
ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle,
please observe the following:
If the electrical system fails, do not tow or
tow-start the vehicle, as it would be
impossible to release the electric steering-
wheel lock and the vehicle could not be
steered.<
>
Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
>
The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only,
as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
