General rules for towing
• The propeller shafts must be removed to avoid damage to the transmission and transfer case, see page 102.
• The safety features for ASR must be switched off, see page 103.
• The transfer case must be switched to road position, see page 103.
• There must be sufficient reservoir pressure in the compressed air system. Make sure that the air suspension
is supplied with sufficient compressed air,
see page 105.
• Wind guides such as mirrors and bodies may protrude above and to either side of the vehicle. Pay attention
to the height of the vehicle when driving through tunnels and bridges.
• Ensure that the vehicle to be towed has an adequate power supply.
• Ensure that the vehicle to be towed is adequately lit, if necessary by installing additional lights, including turn
signals.
Propeller shaft removal
To avoid damage to the transmission and transfer case, certain propeller shafts must be removed according to
the towing method used.
Risk of injury G
A propeller shaft may fall down and injure you when being removed. Secure the propeller shaft prior to
removal to prevent it from falling, e.g. with the aid of a second person or by tying up the propeller shaft.
