down hook. Never use suspension parts or oth-

er body parts for towing or tie-down purposes.
"

Never use the tie-down hook on the under-

side of the vehicle closest to the muffler for

towing purposes.

Using a flat-bed truck

This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Use the

following procedures to ensure safe transportation.

1. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position for au-

tomatic transmission vehicles or “1st” for manual

transmission vehicles.

2. Pull up the parking brake lever firmly.

3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier properly with

safety chains. Each safety chain should be equally

tightened and care must be taken not to pull the chains

so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.

If your vehicle has a front underspoiler and rear

underspoiler (both optional), be careful not to

scrape them when placing the vehicle on the

carrier and when removing the vehicle from the

carrier.
