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.
