Practical hints
Towing the vehicle
Points to bear in mind
ț The vehicle must not be tow-started.
ț If the vehicle is to be towed, only tow it
with all wheels on the ground.
ț If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller
shaft disconnected.
ț Before towing the vehicle, make sure
the battery is connected and charged.
Otherwise you will not be able to switch
on the ignition and move the selector
lever to N. There will then be no power
assistance when steering and braking.
Transporting the vehicle
The towing eye bolt can be used to pull the
vehicle onto a trailer or transporter for
transporting purposes.
̈ Move the selector lever to N.
!
Due to the low clearance height of the
SLR, care must be taken when loading
and unloading from a transporter to
avoid damaging the vehicle body work.
To secure the vehicle, only tie it down
by the wheels or tires. Otherwise it
could be damaged.
