Hello Everyone, Just took delivery of a 2009 passion.
Plan to tow on all 4's behind a Class B Motorhome.
I plan to install the base plate myself but have a question about the battery disconnect that is mentioned inthe owners manual.
Do any of you that now tow have this disconnect on your Smart, and can you tell me something about this?
Unless there's something I'm not aware of in the '09 manual, there's no reason to disconnect the battery.
When towing 4 down you need to turn the ignition to the #1 position to put the gearshift in neutral then turn the key back again. Since the shift lever is not in the Park position you can't turn the key far enough to remove it, but the power will be turned off.
Have they corrected the new manual to state that the car can be towed 4 wheels down?
