CAUTION

Never tow CVT models with the front

wheels on the ground or four wheels on

the ground (forward or backward), as

this may cause serious and expensive

damage to the transmission. If it is nec-

essary to tow the vehicle with the rear

wheels raised always use towing dollies

under the front wheels.

When towing with the front wheels on

towing dollies:

– Place the ignition switch to the OFF

position, and secure the steering

wheel in a straight-ahead position

with a rope or similar device. For

models with a steering wheel lock

mechanism: Never secure the steer-

ing wheel by placing the ignition

switch to the LOCK position. This

may damage the steering lock

mechanism.

– Move the shift selector to the N (Neu-

tral) position.

When towing CVT models with the rear

wheels on the ground (if you do not use

towing dollies): Always release the

parking brake.

When towing CVT models with the front

wheels on the ground, dollies must be

used or place the vehicle on a flat bed

truck.
