Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front

wheels.

EMERGENCY TOWING

!

D080D04A-AAT

For emergency towing when no commercial

tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,

chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under

the front/rear of your vehicle. Do not attempt to

tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved

surface. This could result in serious damage to

your vehicle.

Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,

drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-

aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in

neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine

off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine

running). A driver must be in the towed vehicle

to steer it and operate the brakes.

NOTE:

Before towing, check the level of the auto-

matic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT"

range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you

cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be

used.

CAUTION:

If the car is being towed with all four wheels

on the ground, it can be towed only from the

front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral.

Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph

(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25

km). Be sure the steering is unlocked by

placing the key in the "ACC" position. A

driver must be in the towed vehicle to

operate the steering and brakes.
