CAUTION!
If the vehicle is towed with the front wheels raised,
the engine must be shut off (key in the ignition
switch turned to the OFF/LOCK or ACC positions).
Otherwise, the ESP will immediately be engaged

tow-away alarm as well as the automatic central
locking system.

beyond a short tow to a nearby garage.
Always comply with applicable state or local towing
