ASR V/ETS
Towing
^ There is a lack of servo assistance when the engine is not running. Considerably higher forces are then required for braking and steering.
^ When towing with the front or rear axle raised : Ignition must be OFF
Transporting on a transporter or trailer is preferable to towing. If the vehicle has to be towed we recommend using a tow bar.
The following instructions must be followed.
Axles Not Raised:
^ Key in ignition lock in position 1
^ Automatic transmission selector lever in position "N"
^ Towing speed max. 50 km/h
^ Towing distance max. 50 km
This can result in transmission damage if the max. towing speed or max. towing distance is exceeded.
One Axle Raised:
^ Ignition must be OFF otherwise there will be ETS/ESP control
CAUTION: Only tow with propeller shafts disconnected at the flanges over longer distances or if there is transmission damage.
Tow Starting
The engine cannot be emergency started by towing.
