TOWING
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
Y
Laws and regulations applicable to vehicles in tow must al-
ways be observed.
As a general rule, towed vehicles should be pulled with the
driving wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent towing the vehicle with the driving wheels
off the ground, use wheel dollies.
With either automatic or manual transaxle:
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC position;
2. Place the selector lever or shift lever in N (Neutral);
3. Release the parking brake.
Caution
l Do not tow the vehicle backward with driving wheels
on the ground. This may cause internal damage to
the transaxles.
l Do not use the hook loops under the front and rear
of the vehicle for towing purposes. These hook
loops are designed ONLY for transport tie-down. If
tie-down hook loops are used for towing, the
front/rear bumper will be damaged.

CAUTION
INSTALLATION OF MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO SYSTEM
If a mobile two-way radio system is installed improperly or if a high-powered type is used, the EGI system
and other systems may be affected.
When the vehicle is to be equipped with a mobile two-way radio, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna at the farthest point from control units.
2. Install the antenna feeder as far as possible from the control unit harnesses (at least 30 cm [11.8 in]).
3. Ensure that the antenna and feeder are properly adjusted.
4. Do not install a high-powered mobile two-way radio system.

REMOVAL OF IGNITION KEY ON AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE MODEL
The selector lever must be in P (PARK) to turn the ignition key
to the OFF position. If the switch seems to be off but the key
cannot be removed, the switch may still be in the ACC posi-
tion, or the selector lever may not be in P (PARK). Shift the
selector lever to P (PARK), and turn the ignition key to the
LOCK position. The key should now be free for removal.
