Towing 2009 Mini Cooper S ragtop

Hi - Tomorrow am I am going to tow my 2009 Mini Cooper S ragtop for the first time. My other mini had a regular key starter.  This one has a push button. Can anyone list the steps to go through with a push button starter?

If it is a manual transmission
But it in neutral
Make sure parking brake is released (don't ask why I know)
Have a nice trip

Does it have a steering wheel lock?  Not sure on a keyless start car, but the steering should be unlocked while towing.
