The towing section of the Australian SEALION 7 manual recommends flatbed transport with all four wheels off the ground; towing with only the front or rear wheels on the ground may damage high-voltage components. This is a separate issue from the vehicle’s rated capacity for normal trailer towing.
When contacting roadside assistance, first provide the specific model, powertrain, whether the vehicle can be shifted into Neutral, and its current parking location, so professionals can follow the appropriate procedure. Don’t assume that the presence of a towing eye or tow hook means any towing method is suitable.
This post provides sources and a summary of principles; it does not provide steps for unlocking, disconnecting power, or dismantling the high-voltage system yourself.
