Recovery
Recovery means that the vehicle is transported away by means of another vehicle.
Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform. The car's position and ground clearance determine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car is inadequate, then the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up using the towing eye. Raise the car using the recovery vehicle's lifting device if necessary.
Important
Note that the car must always be transported with the wheels rolling forward.
- An all-wheel drive car (AWD) with raised front suspension must not be towed at speeds above 70 km/h (40 mph). It should not be towed further than 50 km.
