134(b) Towing with wheel lift type truck From frontÐ
Manual transmission:
We recommend using a towing dollyunder the rear wheels. If you do not
use a towing dolly, release the parking brake and put the transmission in neu-tral.
Automatic transmission:Use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
NOTICE
Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission from the
front with the rear wheels on the ground, as this may cause seriousdamage to the transmission.
From rearÐ Place the ignition key in the
ACCº position.
NOTICE
Do not tow with the key removed or in the LOCKº position, as the
steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the frontwheels straight while towing.
(c) Towing with sling type truck
NOTICE
Do not tow with sling type truck, either from the front or rear. This
may cause body damage.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed by a cable secured to
either emergency towing eyelet under
the front of the vehicle or the left emer-
gency towing eyelet under the 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 dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition.
