Using a tow fitting

The screw-in tow-fitting should always be car-

ried in the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the

front or rear of the BMW.

It is located in the onboard toolkit under the

floor panel flap in the cargo bay.

Use only the tow fitting provided with the

vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the

tow fitting for towing only on roads. Avoid lateral

loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehi-

cle by the tow fitting. Otherwise damage to the

tow fitting and the vehicle can occur.<

Towing methods

Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or body

and chassis parts, otherwise damage may

result.<

In some countries, towing with tow bars or

ropes in public traffic is not permitted. Familiar-

ize yourself with the regulations on towing in the

respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle may not be lighter

than the vehicle to be towed, otherwise it

will not be possible to reliably control vehicle

response.<

The tow fittings used should be on the same

side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi-

ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an offset

angle, observe the following:

> Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> When mounted at an angle, the tow bar will

exert lateral forces, tending to push the

vehicle sideways.

Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings,

as attachment to other vehicle parts can

lead to damage.<

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.

Only attach tow ropes to the tow fittings, as

attachment to other vehicle parts can lead to

damage.<

Hybrid system safety

Working on the vehicle

The hybrid system of the BMW ActiveHybrid X6

is a closed system.

Safety is assured as long as no work is per-

formed on the technical components.

Therefore, have changes to and work on the

vehicle, e.g. installation of accessories, carried

out only by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle

Center or by a repair shop that works in accor-

dance with BMW guidelines using appropriately

trained personnel.

Have maintenance and repair of the vehi-

cle carried out only by the service depart-

ment or by a repair shop that works in accor-

dance with BMW guidelines using appropriately
