MANUAL TRANSMISSION:
We recommend using a towing dolly under the front wheels.If you do not use a towing dolly, place the ignition key in the
“ACC” position and put the transmission in neutral.
NOTICE:
Do not tow with the key removed or in the “LOCK”
position when towing from the rear without a towing
dolly. The steering lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:
Use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
NOTICE:
Never tows vehicle with an automatic transmission from
the rear with the front wheels on the ground, as this may
cause serious damage to the transmission.

If towing service is not available in an emergency, your
vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable secured to
one of the eyelets under the front or rear of the vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it and operate the
brakes. Towing in this manner may be done only on
hard-surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must
all be in good condition.
Before towing, release the parking brake and put the
transmission in neutral (manual) or “N” (automatic). The
ignition key must be in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine
running).CAUTION:
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes
and steering will not work so steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
