Automatic Transmission/Transaxle » Transmission Description (Overview)
Push-starting the Vehicle

No torque is transmitted when towing or pushing the vehicle. For this reason, vehicles with an automatic transaxle cannot and must not be tow-started or push-started.

Jump-starting the Vehicle

CAUTION: When jump-starting the vehicle using a jumper lead there may be voltage peaks. These may destroy the transaxle electronics.

NOTE: When jump-starting the vehicle, the external battery must remain connected for several minutes.

Only then may the external battery be disconnected without the risk of damage.
