towing a Smart Car

I have a 2013 and it tows well. Once hooked up put transmission in neutral while engine is running. Turn ignition off and wait until instrument panel goes dark (this is crucial) then disconnect battery. I installed a disconnect switch. There is no steering lock to contend with. The key must remain in the switch. You also need to attach a bungee cord to the steering wheel. Without the bungee steering may go lock to lock after making a sharp turn like around a street corner and you have to come to a complete stop to make it quit.

When you reconnect the battery and turn the ignition on the transmission goes through some kind of calibration sequence and you can not start the car until it finishes.
