Activating tow mode
If your car needs to be towed onto a flatbed recovery vehicle, you first need to activate tow mode in settings.
Important
- Having your car towed without activating tow mode may damage it. Be sure to follow the instructions in the display until you have received confirmation that tow mode is active before your car is towed.
- To avoid accidentally triggering the alarm, reduce your car's alarm sensitivity before towing it.
- You can only access tow mode if your car has power. If the car can't be powered on, it will need to be lifted onto the recovery vehicle's platform.
- Be sure to read all information about having your car towed before you activate tow mode.
- You should only tow your car short distances, such as to the side of the road or onto a recovery vehicle. Towing your car longer distances can damage the car by causing the battery to charge incorrectly.

Tow mode is only used when having your car towed. Do not activate it when towing other vehicles or trailers.
