Towing the Vehicle
Your vehicle can be towed by wheel lift type truck (1), (2) or flatbed equipment (3).
CAUTION:
o When towing the vehicle, take care not to cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle.
o Do not tow with sling type truck as this may cause damage to the bumper or underbody of the vehicle.
1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released.
NOTE:
Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, flatbed equipment or a towing dolly must be used.
2) If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle:
If you do not use a towing dolly, place the ignition key in the "ACC" position and put the transaxle in "N (Neutral)".
CAUTION:
Do not tow with the key removed or in the "LOCK" position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly.
o Automatic Transaxle: Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
CAUTION:
A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle.
3) It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with all the wheels off the ground.
