Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Notes on push-starting
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
As a basic principle, the vehicle should not be tow-started. Use jump leads to start the engine instead .
For technical reasons, the following vehicles cannot be tow-started:
- Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
- If the vehicle battery has discharged, the engine control units will not function properly.
However, if the vehicle still has to be tow-started (manual gearbox):
- Engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
- Keep the clutch pressed down.
- Switch on the ignition and the hazard warning lights.
- Once both vehicles are in motion, release the clutch.
- As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch and put the gear into neutral. This helps to prevent driving into the towing vehicle.
