Yes you can, it's in your manual - page 137 in mine.
You've obviously never push started an SMG car - you don't get warning lights. I've done this a couple of times back when I had a faulty battery. Instruction as per manual: "Do not attempt to tow-start a car with a catalytic converter unless the engine is cold. It is better to jump start the engine. 1. Tow-start the car with the selector lever in the N position. 2. Move the selector lever to position S, then pull it to + within 2 seconds. The correct gear is automatically selected and the clutch engaged. 3. After the engine has fired and is running, move the selector lever back to the N position. |
