The use of jump leads is preferable to tow-starting.

We recommend that you do not tow-start your vehicle. Jump-starting is preferable.

However, if your vehicle has to be tow-started:
– Engage the 2nd or the 3rd gear.
– Keep the clutch pressed down.
– Switch on the ignition.
– Once both vehicles are moving, release the clutch.
– As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch and move the gear lever into neutral. This helps to prevent driving into the towing vehicle.

WARNING

The risk of accidents is high when tow-starting. The vehicle being towed can easily collide with the towing vehicle.

Caution
When tow-starting, fuel could enter the catalytic converter and damage it.
