Towing the Vehicle
Warning!
With the engine not running, there is
no power assistance for the braking
and steering systems. In this case, it
is important to keep in mind that a
considerably higher degree of effort
is necessary to brake and steer the
vehicle.
The rear towing eye is located at the
right, below the bumper. The front
towing eye is located on the passenger
side behind a flap in the bumper
panel.
Flap removal: Insert finger in recess of
flap and pull flap out.
Flap installation: Engage flap at
bottom and press in top securely.
Caution!
Vehicles with Acceleration Slip
Regulation (ASR) or Electronic
Stability Program (ESP)
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised, the engine must be shut
off. Otherwise, the ASR or ESP will
immediately be engaged and will apply
the rear wheel brakes.
Vehicles with Electronic Traction
System (ETS)
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised, the engine must be shut
off. Otherwise, the ETS will
immediately be engaged which may
cause loss of towing control.
