Where is the towing hook on the Mercedes-Benz Smart?
1 Answers
The towing hook of the Mercedes-Benz Smart is located under the floor mat on the passenger side, near the footrest area, stored together with the tire inflator and sealant. Precautions for towing: Prefer a tow bar: If the braking system of the towed vehicle fails or towing is required on icy or snowy roads, a tow bar should be prioritized. Choose the appropriate hook: Ensure the towing hook is securely fastened and properly installed. Double-check the hook's attachment before towing. Plan the route and maintain communication between vehicles: Select a towing route with less traffic, better road conditions, and a shorter distance. Avoid areas with high pedestrian or commercial activity, underground parking lots, and other potentially hazardous sections to reduce the risk of secondary accidents. Control speed and maintain distance: Maintain a towing speed of around 20 km/h, never exceeding 30 km/h. Keep an optimal distance of 5-11 meters between vehicles to allow the towed vehicle sufficient reaction time if the towing vehicle brakes suddenly. Correct towing procedure: Locate the towing hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle. Install the towing equipment. Proceed with towing.
