All Transmissions

If you must use the accessories (wipers, defroster, etc.)
while being towed, the key must be in the ON/RUN
position, not the ACC position. Make certain the trans-
mission remains in NEUTRAL.

If the battery is discharged, see “Shift Lever Override” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for instructions on shifting
the automatic transmission out of PARK for towing.

CAUTION!

Do not use sling-type equipment when towing. When
securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.

Without The Ignition Key Special care must be taken
when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the
LOCK/OFF position. The only approved method of
towing without the ignition key is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
