Comply with any legal requirements when towing and tow starting.
For technical reasons, vehicles with a discharged battery must not be tow-started.
Towing a vehicle when the engine is switched off and the ignition is switched on discharges the vehicle battery. Depending on the vehicle battery charge level, the drop in voltage can be large enough after just a few minutes that electrical consumers in the vehicle will no longer function, e.g. the hazard warning lights.
