Towing the vehicle
Mercedes-Benz recommends that the
vehicle be transported with all wheels off
the ground using flatbed or appropriate
wheel lift/dolly equipment. This method is
preferable to other types of towing.
When circumstances do not permit the
recommended towing methods, the
vehicle may be towed with all wheels on
the ground only so far as necessary to have
the vehicle moved to a safe location where
the recommended towing methods can be
employed.
!
When towing the vehicle with all wheels
on the ground, the automatic transmis-
sion must be in position N and the
SmartKey must be in starter switch
position 2.
!
When towing the vehicle with all wheels
on the ground, the vehicle may be
towed only for distances up to 30 miles
(50

Use flatbed or wheel lift/dolly equip-
ment, with the SmartKey in starter
switch turned to position 0.
!
Do not tow with one axle raised. Doing
so could damage the transfer case,
which is not covered by the
km) and at a speed not to exceed
mph (50 km/h).
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Towing with sling-type equipment over
bumpy roads will damage radiator and
supports.
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised (observe instructions re-
garding flexible drive shaft), the engine
must be shut off (SmartKey in starter
switch position 1). Otherwise, the
4-ETS may become engaged which may
cause loss of towing control.
All wheels must be on or off the ground.
Observe instructions for towing the ve-
hicles with all wheels on the ground.
To prevent damage during transport,
do not tie down vehicle by its chassis or
suspension parts. Use the towing eyes.
Switch off the ESP (୴ page 101),
®
tow-away alarm (୴ page 107) and the
automatic central locking
(
୴ page 130).
Do not tow-start the vehicle.
