towing device, use tow dollies under the opposite end
of the vehicle. A vehicle with flatbed device can also
be used to transport a disabled vehicle (Fig. 6).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be
observed when towing a vehicle:
²Secure loose and protruding parts.
²Always use a safety chain system that is inde-
pendent of the lifting and towing equipment.
²Do not allow towing equipment to contact the
disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
²Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle
while it is lifted by the towing device.
²Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle
being towed.
²Always observe state and local laws regarding
towing regulations.
²Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could
jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
²Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, or J-hooks to
a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts or a non-re-
inforced frame hole.
²Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Use a flat-
bed device to transport a loaded vehicle.
TWO-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that a
vehicle be towed with the rear end lifted, whenever
possible.
WARNING: WHEN TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
AND THE DRIVE WHEELS ARE SECURED IN A
WHEEL LIFT OR TOW DOLLIES, ENSURE THE
TRANSMISSION IS IN THE PARK POSITION (AUTO-
MATIC TRANSMISSION) OR A FORWARD DRIVE
GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION).WARNING: ENSURE VEHICLE IS ON A LEVEL SUR-
FACE OR THE WHEELS ARE BLOCKED TO PRE-
VENT VEHICLE FROM ROLLING.
TWO WHEEL DRIVE TOWING-REAR END LIFTED
CAUTION: Do not use steering column lock to
secure steering wheel during towing operation.
2WD vehicles can be towed with the front wheels
on the surface for extended distances at speeds not
exceeding 48 km/h (30 mph).
(1) Attach wheel lift device to rear wheels.
(2) Place the transmission in neutral.
(3) Raise vehicle to towing position.
(4) Attach safety chains. Route chains so not to
interfere with tail pipe when vehicle is lifted.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel.
CAUTION: Do not use steering column lock to
secure steering wheel during towing operation.
(6) Secure steering wheel in straight ahead posi-
tion with a clamp device designed for towing.
(7) Place transmission in park.
TWO WHEEL DRIVE TOWING-FRONT END LIFTED
CAUTION: Many vehicles are equipped with air
dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To
avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehi-
cle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.
(1) Attach wheel lift device to rear wheels.
(2) Place the transmission in neutral.
(3) Raise the rear of the vehicle off the ground and
install tow dollies under rear wheels.
(4) Attach wheel lift device to front wheels and
raise vehicle to towing position.
(5) Attach the safety chains.
CAUTION: Do not use steering column lock to
secure steering wheel during towing operation.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel.
(7) Secure steering wheel in straight ahead posi-
tion with a clamp device designed for towing.
(8) Place transmission in park.
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that a
4WD vehicle be transported on a flat-bed device. A
Wheel-lift device can be used providedthe trailing
wheels are off the ground and positioned in
tow dollies.

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. Electronic control of
the speed control system is integrated into the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM). The controls consist
of two steering wheel mounted switches. The
switches are labeled: ON/OFF, RES/ACCEL, SET,
COAST, and CANCEL.
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (50 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in PCM RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 35 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal (if equipped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RES/ACCEL switch (when speed is
greater than 30 mph) restores the vehicle to the tar-
get speed that was stored in the PCM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the RES/AC-
CEL switch. The new target speed is stored in the
PCM when the RES/ACCEL is released. The PCM
also has a9tap-up9feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each
momentary switch activation of the RES/ACCEL
switch.
