TOWING AND TOW-STARTING

Using the towing eyelet The screw-in towing eyelet is stored in the onboard tool kit, refer to page 120; be sure that it remains with the vehicle at all times. It can be attached at the front or rear of your vehicle.

To prevent damage to the towing eyelet and the vehicle, please observe

the following instructions: Use only the towing eyelet supplied with the vehicle and screw it in firmly until it stops. Use the towing eyelet for towing on paved roads only. Avoid subjecting the towing eyelet to lateral loads, e.g. do not lift the vehicle using the towing eyelet.<

Turn on the hazard warning flashers, if required by national regulations. If the electrical system has failed, clearly identify the vehicle being towed, e.g. by placing a sign or a warning triangle in the rear win- dow.

MINI or MINI Convertible with manual transmission: Put the manual gearshift lever in Neutral.

MINI or MINI Convertible with Continu- ously Variable automatic Transmission (CVT):

Only tow vehicles with Continuously Variable automatic Transmission

(CVT) with a tow truck, otherwise the trans- mission can be damaged, refer to page 137.<

Towing methods In some countries, it is not permitted to tow the vehicle with a tow bar or tow rope on public roads. Familiarize yourself with the applicable towing regulations for the country in which you are driving.

Access to the threaded socket The illustration shows by way of example the MINI COOPER and the MINI COOPER Convertible. Pry out the cover in the front or rear bumper by inserting a screwdriver into the recess.

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition key is in position 1; otherwise the steering

lock could engage and prevent the vehicle from being steered. There is no power assist while the engine is off. Therefore, you will need to exert more force to brake and steer the vehicle.<

136

TOWING AND TOW-STARTING

With a tow bar:

The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the vehicle being towed; otherwise, vehicle handling can no longer be controlled.<

The towing eyelets of both vehicles should be on the same side. If the tow bar can only be used in a diagonal position, please note the following: >Clearance and maneuverability will be

strictly limited in corners

>The inclination of the tow bar produces

lateral force.

Only attach the tow bar to the towing eyelets. Other parts of the vehicles

could otherwise be damaged.<

With a tow rope: When the towing vehicle is driving off, make sure that the tow rope is taut.

Use nylon ropes or straps for towing because they prevent sudden jerking

movements. Attach the tow rope only to the towing eyelets. Other parts of the vehi- cles could otherwise be damaged.<

With a tow truck: Have the MINI or MINI Convertible trans- ported by a tow truck with a lift sling, or on a flatbed.

Only tow vehicles with Continuously Variable automatic Transmission

(CVT) with the front wheels raised or on a special transport vehicle, otherwise the transmission can be damaged. Do not lift the vehicle by the towing eyelet, nor by parts of the body or chassis. Other- wise damage could result.<

Tow-starting

Do not tow-start vehicles with Con- tinuously Variable automatic Trans-

mission (CVT). Jump-starting, refer to page 134.<

Only tow-start vehicles with catalytic con- verters if the engine is cold. It is better to have the engine jump-started, refer to page 134. 1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers;

comply with national regulations 2. Turn the ignition key to position 2
3. Engage the 3rd gear 4. Have the vehicle towed with the clutch

pedal completely depressed and then slowly release the clutch pedal. After the engine has started, immediately depress the clutch pedal again completely

5. Pull over at a suitable location, remove

the tow bar or tow rope, and turn off the hazard warning flashers

6. Have the vehicle checked.
