Driving tips while towing
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope.
Both drivers must be familiar with the techniques required for towing.
Inexperienced drivers should not try to tow a vehicle or to drive a ve-
hicle that is being towed.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle, and avoid jerking the tow
rope. When towing on an unpaved road, there is always a risk of
overloading and damaging the attachment points.
If your vehicle is being towed, it can still signal turns even if the emer-
gency flashers are activated, as long as the ignition is switched on.
Use the turn signal in the normal way. The emergency flashers go off
as long as the turn signal is blinking. As soon as the turn signal lever
returns to its neutral position, the emergency flashers are automati-
cally activated again.
As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
If your vehicle is the one being towed, the ignition switch must be
switched on to keep the steering wheel from locking and to be able to
release the electronic parking brake. Also make sure that the turn
signals, horn, windshield wipers, and windshield washers work
properly.
