Emergency assistance
— In an emergency situation, the vehicle can
still be towed or pulled on its own wheels
until it can be transported by a recovery ve-
hicle, even if the [J indicator light is on and
the corresponding message has appeared.
However, the speed must not be faster than
a walking pace and the distance must not
exceed 328 feet (100 m). In this case, you
may experience vibrations in the drive sys-
tem and blocking of the rear wheels, espe-
cially in icy or wet road conditions. Blocked
wheels can reduce steering ability and lead
to accidents and severe injuries.
