In case of an emergency

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground (without dol-
lies) and the front wheels off the ground.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
front of the vehicle should always be lift-
ed, not the rear.

NOTICE

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the ground as
this may cause damage to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type equipment.

Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.

When towing your vehicle in an emer-
gency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-

tion.

2. Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

3. Release the parking brake.

NOTICE

Failure to place the transaxle shift lever
in N (Neutral) may cause internal dam-
age to the transaxle.
