Winching/towing

[kaj]

Has anyone needed to winch or tow their cars? I assume these things don't go into neutral if not running under their own power.
Do I need to start taking dollies to the track too?

I've been wondering about this myself.

From what I have read (have not tried).....

1: Push start button (I think it needs to be in diag mode, maybe not)
2: Push the lever twice in to N
3: Push the lever to N and hold for 5 seconds
4: Transmission is now disengaged for 15 minutes after which it will re-lock itself.

I'll try it tomorrow while I'm loading the car.

No need to disable car.
1. Start car.
2. Shift to neutral.
3. Shut off car. Will stay in neutral 15 min.
4. Load car.
5. Hit P and put car back in park
6. Strap car down.

Actually add in:
1.5. Shift car to drive.

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one.
