Having your vehicle towed

Your vehicle can be towed short distances if necessary. For this, tow mode must first be activated.

 Important

Before having your vehicle towed

  • You can only access tow mode if the vehicle has power. If the vehicle can't be powered on, it will need a full recovery.
  • Be sure to read all information about having your vehicle towed before you activate tow mode.
  • You should only tow your vehicle short distances, such as to the side of the road or onto a recovery vehicle. Towing your vehicle longer distances can damage the vehicle by causing the battery to charge incorrectly.

To tow your vehicle, you must first activate tow mode, which involves attaching the towing eye and the winch wire. Make sure that you have all the necessary equipment ready.

Activate tow mode in the center display.
Tow mode activation confirmation appears.
Tow your vehicle onto a recovery vehicle or to a safe place, such as the side of the road.
When the vehicle is in the necessary place, engage the parking brake.
Tow mode deactivates.
If necessary, remove the towing eye and winch wire.

 Important

Always use a recovery vehicle to transport the vehicle whenever it cannot be driven. Forced wheel rotation during transportation can severely damage your vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is only transported by a recovery vehicle such as a flatbed, so that the vehicle's wheels do not touch the ground while being transported.
