Towing

During towing, the car is towed by another vehicle by means of a towline.

Towing the car is not permitted as this will damage the electric motor. Instead, the car must be transported raised with all the wheels on a recovery vehicle's platform, neither of the wheel pairs may have road contact.

When towing another car

Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before the towing begins.

Jump starting

Tow-starting the motor is not permitted as this will damage the electric motor. Use a donor battery if the starter battery is discharged and the engine does not start.

 Important

The electric drive motor and the catalytic converter may be damaged during attempts to tow-start the car.
