Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle

– Drive slowly at first until the tow-rope is taut. Then accelerate

gradually.

– Begin and change gears cautiously. If you are driving an auto-

matic vehicle, accelerate gently.

– Remember that the brake servo and power steering are not

working in the vehicle you are towing. Brake earlier than you

would normally, but with a more gentle pressure on the brake.

Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle

– Ensure that the tow-rope remains taut at all times when towing.

Fitting the towing eye

– Take the towing ring from the onboard tools.

– Pull the lower front cover down and leave the cover hanging on

the vehicle.

– Remove the cover of the screw hole, insert a screwdriver into the

lower slot and lever gently.

– Screw the towing eye as shown by arrow anti-clockwise to the

limit position in the front ⇒page 251, fig. 181 or rear

⇒page 251, fig. 182 threaded hole.

Tow-rope or tow-bar

It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow-bar. You should only use a

tow-rope if you do not have a tow-bar.

A tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the loading on both vehicles.

It is advisable to use a tow-rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic

material.

Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the towing eyes provided or a

towing bracket.

Driving style

Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow-rope. Both

drivers should be familiar with the technique required for towing. Inexperi-

enced drivers should not attempt to tow-start or tow away another vehicle.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and take care to avoid jerking the

tow-rope. When towing on an unpaved road, there is always a risk of over-

loading and damaging the anchorage points.

The ignition of the vehicle being towed must be switched on to prevent the

steering wheel from locking and also to allow the use of the turn signals,

horn, windscreen wipers and washers.

As the brake servo does not work if the engine is not running, you must apply

considerably more pressure to the brake pedal than you normally would.

As the power assisted steering does not work if the engine is not running, you

will need more strength to steer than you normally would.

Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox

•Put the selector lever into position “N”.

•Do not drive faster than 50 km/h when towing a vehicle.

•Do not tow further than 50 km.

•If a breakdown vehicle is used, the vehicle must be towed with the front

wheels raised.

Note

•Observe legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.

•Switch on the hazard warning lights of both vehicles. However, observe

any regulations to the contrary.

•For technical reasons, vehicles with an automatic gearbox must not be

tow-started.
