When your vehicle is being towed, have
the ignition key off. The steering wheel
should be clamped
in a straight-ahead
position, with a clamping device designed
for towing service. Do not use the
vehicle’s steering
column lock for this,
The transmission should be in “Neutral”
and the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the rear
wheels, unless
you must. If the vehicle
must be towed on the rear wheels, don’t
go more than 35 mph (55 km/h) or
farther than
50 miles (80 km) or your
transmission will be damaged. If these
limits
must be exceeded, then the rear
wheels have to be supported on a
dolly.
?ront Towing Hook-Ups
Ittach T-hook chains to slots in frame
*earward of front wheels on both sides.
NOTICE:
Do not attach winch cables or “J”
hooks to suspension components
when using car carrier equipment.
Always use T-hooks inserted in the

If Q Tire Goes Flat
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while
you’re driving, especially if you maintain
your tires properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it’s much more likely to leak out
slowly. But if
you should ever have a
“blowout,’’ here are a few tips about what
to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create
a drag that pulls the vehicle toward that
side. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly.
Steer to maintain lane position, then
gently brake to a stop well out of the
traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve,
acts much like
a skid and may require the
same correction you’d use in a skid. In
any rear blowout, remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle
under control by steering the way
you
want the vehicle to go. It may be very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer.
Gently brake to
a stop, well off the road
if possible.
If your tire goes flat,
the next section
shows how to use your jacking equipment
to change a flat tire safely.

Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow
What you don’t want to do when your
vehicle
is stuck is to spin your wheels.
The method known as “rocking” can help
you get out
when you’re stuck, but you
must use caution.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of your vehicle as well as the
tires.
If you spin the wheels too fast
while shifting your transmission
back and forth, you can destroy
your transmission.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and
right. That
will clear the area around
your front wheels.
If your vehicle has
ASR, you should turn the system off,
(See “ASR System”
in the Index.)
Then
shift back and forth between “R”
(Reverse) and a forward gear (or with a
manual transmission, between First or
Second gear and Reverse), spinning the
wheels as little as possible. Release the
accelerator pedal while you shift, and
press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when
the transmission is in gear. If that
doesn’t get you out after a
few tries, you
may need to be towed out.
If you do
need
to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle’’
in the Index.

e CAUTION:
Turning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator
are hot
can allow steam and scalding liquids
to
blow out and burn you badly.
Never
turn the pressure cap - even a
little
- when the engine and radiator
are hot.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, bul
be careful not to spill
it.
A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant
contains ethylene glycol,
and it will
bum if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant
on a
hot engine.
Radiator Pressure Cap (All Engines)
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is a 18 psi
(1 24 kPa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent
coolant
loss and possible engine
damage from overheating. Be sure
the arrows
on the cap line up with
the overflow tube on the radiator
filler neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure
cap, an
AC@ cap is recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled
by a thermostat in the engine coolant
system. The thermostat stops the flow of
coolant through the radiator until the
coolant reaches a preset temperature.
When
you replace your thermostat, an
AC@ thermostat is recommended.

How to Check Power Steering Fluid:
Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick
with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten it. Then remove the
cap again and look
at the fluid level on
the dipstick.
