WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-
ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehi-
cle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously without stop-
ping when you are stuck and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

Towing With The Ignition Key

Your vehicle may be towed under the following condi-
tions:

• The shift lever must be in NEUTRAL.
• The distance to be traveled must not exceed 15 miles

(25 km).

• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).

CAUTION!

Exceeding these towing limits may cause severe
transmission damage. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

If the transmission is inoperative, or if the vehicle is to be
towed more than 15 miles (25 km), the vehicle must be
towed with the front wheels off the ground.
