CAUTION:

o Automatic Transaxle:

Be sure to use a towing dolly under the

front wheels.

A vehicle with an automatic transaxle

should never be towed from the rear with

the front wheels on the ground. This can

cause serious damage to the transaxle.

3) It is recommended that your vehicle be

towed with all the wheels off the ground.

EMERGENCY TOWING

D080D01NF-AAT

!

D080D02NF-A

For emergency towing when no commer-

cial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow

cable, chain or strap to the towing hook

under the front of your car. Do not attempt

to tow your vehicle in this manner on any

unpaved surface. This could result in

serious damage to your car.

Nor should towing be attempted if the

wheels, drive train, axles, steering or

brakes are damaged. 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 car to steer it

and operate the brakes.

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.

NOTE:

Before towing, check the level of the

automatic 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.
