Practical hints
Towing the vehicle
Mercedes-Benz recommends that the vehi-
cle be transported with all wheels off the
ground using flatbed or appropriate wheel
lift/dolly equipment. This method is pref-
erable to other types of towing.
When circumstances do not permit the
recommended towing methods, the vehi-
cle may be towed with all wheels on the
ground or front wheels raised only so far as
necessary to have the vehicle moved to a
safe location where the recommended
towing methods can be employed.
!
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised, the engine must be shut off
(SmartKey in starter switch position 0
®
or 1). Otherwise, the ESP will immedi-
ately be engaged and will apply the rear
wheel brakes.
!
Use flatbed or wheel lift/dolly equip-
ment with SmartKey in starter switch
turned to position 0.
When towing the vehicle with all wheels
on the ground, the selector lever must
be in position N and the SmartKey
must be in starter switch position 2.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Towing with sling-type equipment over
bumpy roads will damage radiator and
supports.
When towing the vehicle with all wheels
on the ground or the front axle raised,
the vehicle may be towed only for dis-
tances up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a
speed not to exceed 30 mph
To prevent damage during transport,
do not tie down vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts.
(50
km/h).
Switch off the tow-away alarm
(
୴ page 87) and the automatic central
locking (୴ page 162).
Do not tow-start the vehicle.
