My Smart Manual states quite clearly not to be towed over 50 kms and no more than 50 KPH...
SO DOES MINE
Ask Mercedes why! They can't tell you exactly why and will say that's what it says in the book, so it must be correct.
I did call the manufacturer of the gearbox (Getrag make it for Mercedes) and they say "The gearbox is bulletproof and would exceed the life of the car without doubt"

They tried to tow the car whilst the selector was in REVERSE
As I said previously I have towed ours for well over 3000 miles which included 2300 round Europe last summer (lots of miles on the Autoroute at 60mph) over a 3 week period. It's just had it's 2nd service in 4 years and has covered just over 10,000 miles!
BTW the oddometer does not add ANY miles whilst being towed
We are off to Croatia next week with it again so another 2500 miles of towing. Should I experience any problems I will report back
