Emergency repairs
- Always fix the tow rod with its original attachment pin (part of the vehicle tool kit)
in the towing eyes.
- Turn the ignition key so that the steering wheel is released (unless the vehicle is
in a hoist, see below).
- To prevent damage to the gearbox, the propeller shaft must always be
disconnected from the differential.
- If there is insufficient pressure in the air reservoirs, release the parking brake.
See "Releasing the parking brake".
If the differential is damaged:
- Hoist the vehicle at the rear and lock the steering wheel in the straight-ahead
position.
Tow starting
If the vehicle has to be towed to start the engine, the ignition key must first be turned
clockwise to position D of the starter/ignition switch (ignition on).
Long-distance towing
If the vehicle is to be moved over a larger distance, this must be done by a recovery
vehicle that lifts the vehicle to be towed under its front axle.
REPLACING BULBS
- Do not touch the glass of the halogen lamps with bare fingers. If necessary, this
glass can be cleaned with a cloth, which has been dampened with industrial
alcohol (methylated spirits).
- When fitting a new bulb, make sure that the lugs on the bulb holder engage in
the slots of the reflector.
