Push starting (pushing the vehicle to

start)/towing

Push starting and towing are carried out in different ways de‐

pending on the legislation of each country.
If the vehicle is provided with a towing hook, then a tow cable or

tow bar should be attached to the front or rear hook.

Note

♦

The tow cable should be elastic, so both vehicles are protec‐

ted. Thus, only synthetic cables or made of similar elastic

materials can be used. Yet, the safest procedure is to use a

tow bar!

♦

First, make sure there are no inadequate drive forces and no

impact loads. On towing maneuvers on dirt roads, there is al‐

ways the risk of overloading and, therefore, damaging the

fastening parts.

♦

Before push starting a vehicle (pushing the vehicle), try to push

start by using the battery from another vehicle.

If the vehicle is push started or towed, please note the following:
Whenever possible, it is recommended that the vehicle is not

pushed for a push start. Instead, use the auxiliary starting cables.
♦ The legal requirements for towing vehicles must be complied

with.

3. General remarks    

31

ienced people should not try push starting or towing a vehicle.

♦ When using a tow cable, the driver of the towed vehicle must

carefully release the clutch when starting to move and when

shifting gears.

♦ The driver of the towed vehicle must ensure the cable is al‐

ways taut.

♦ The warning lights of both vehicles must be turned on, and

other legal requirements must also be observed, if necessary.

♦ The ignition must be switched on so that the steering wheel is

free and the warning lights, horn, Windscreen wipers and

washer are ready for use.

♦ Once the servo brake only operates with the engine on, it is

necessary to step much harder on the brake pedal when the

engine is turned off.

♦ Since the power steering does not work with the engine off,

are much harder to execute when the engine is off.

♦ If there is no lubricant in the automatic transmission, the ve‐

hicle can only be towed with the drive wheels lifted.

3.10.1

If the jump starting has to be carried out

against our recommendation, please

note the following points for vehicles

with a mechanical transmission:

– Before jump starting, press the clutch pedal and engage the

2nd or 3rd gear.

– Turn the ignition on.
– Release the clutch pedal only when both vehicles are moving.
– As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch pedal and shift

to dead center to avoid a collision with the vehicle ahead (trac‐

tor).

Note

In vehicles equipped with catalytic converter, the engine should

not be started by pushing the vehicle for more than 50 meters if

the catalytic converter is hot. The unused fuel may get into the

catalytic converter and damage it.

Over greater distances, the front vehicle section must be lifted.
With a tow car, the vehicle may only be towed with the front

wheels lifted.
Reason: With the vehicle suspended by the rear wheels, the drive

shafts turn backwards. This causes the planetary gears to turn at

rotation rates so high that the transmission is severely damaged

in a short period of time.
