2012 Mini Countryman Owners Manual

Towing methods

Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise damage may

result.<

With towbar

The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the towed vehicle; otherwise, it may

be impossible to maintain control.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossible to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is

attached offset.

Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings, as attachment to other vehicle parts can

lead to damage.<

MOBILITY

Tow-starting Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi- ble; instead, jump-start the engine, page 222. Vehicles with a catalytic converter should only be tow-started when the engine is cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission cannot be tow- started at all. 1. Switch on hazard warning flashers, comply

with local regulations.

2. Switch on the ignition, page 48. 3. Shift into 3rd gear. 4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch

completely depressed and then slowly release the clutch. After the engine starts, immediately depress the clutch completely again.

5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn- ing flashers.

6. Have the vehicle checked.

With tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.

To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when

towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could result in damage.<

With tow truck: Vehicles without ALL4 all-wheel drive

Have the MINI Countryman transported by a tow truck with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.

With tow truck: Vehicles with ALL4 all- wheel drive

Do not have your vehicle with ALL4 all- wheel drive towed with the front or rear axle raised individually; otherwise, the wheels may lock and the transfer case may be dam- aged.<

Only have your MINI Countryman transported on a flat bed.
