downs or the vehicle may be
damaged.NOTICE■ To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission when towing

● Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the
“LOCK” position or the key is removed. The steering lock mechanism is
not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
