Having your car towed
Your car can be towed short distances, such as onto a recovery vehicle, if necessary.
Important
- You should only tow your car short distances, such as to the side of the road or onto a recovery vehicle. Towing your car longer distances can damage the car by causing the battery to charge incorrectly.
- Your car is equipped with air suspension, this must be disabled before the car is raised. Deactivate the function via the centre display.
- Do not tow-start the motor. This will damage the electric motor.
The towing eye can be used to pull your car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.
Note
Your car should not be towed if it's in safety mode.
Location and ground clearance should also be considered when determining if it can towed onto a tow truck.
Tow your car onto a recovery vehicle or to a safe place, such as the side of the road.
When the car is in the necessary place, engage the parking brake.
If necessary, remove the towing eye and winch wire.
Important
Always use a recovery vehicle to transport the car whenever it cannot be driven. Forced wheel rotation during transportation can severely damage your car. Make sure the car is only transported by a recovery vehicle such as a flatbed, so that the car's wheels do not touch the ground while being transported.
