BEST METHOD

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent

damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other

equipment designed for this purpose, following equip-

ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is

mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing device to

main structural members of the vehicle, not to bumpers

or associated brackets. State and local laws regarding

vehicles under tow must be observed.

If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)

while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN

position.
If the ignition key is unavailable, or the vehicle’s battery

is discharged, refer to “SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE” in

this section for instructions on shifting the transmission

out of PARK for towing.
