Emergency assistance
= If the vehicle is towed by a tow truck at the
axle that is not permitted, this can cause se-
vere damage to the transmission.
— When the parking lock is engaged, neither
the front nor rear axle may be lowered or
raised more than 10 . If the vehicle is se-
cured on a special transporter, the supports
under the wheels must not be moved any-
more. The drive system or the tires could be
seriously damaged.
— Towing must not be used to charge the
high-voltage battery (recuperation), be-
cause this could result in major damages to
the tow vehicle or the vehicle being towed.
— The vehicle must not be tow started for
technical reasons.

the
vehicle
onto
a
vehicle
carrier,
train,
ship,

type
of
transportation,
or when towing the vehicle. This can prevent
an undesired intervention from the pre
sense* system.

ing.
