Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
A vehicle can fall from a car carrier if it isn’t
adequately secured. This can cause
a collision,
serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The
vehicle should be tightly secured with chains
or
steel cables before it is transported.
Don’t use substitutes (ropes, leather straps,
canvas webbing, etc.) that can
be cut by sharp
edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use
T-hooks inserted in the front
T-hook slots or
R-hooks inserted in the rear R-hook slots. Never
use
J-hooks. They will damage drivetrain and
suspension components.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
turned to
the OFF position. 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 transaxle
should
be in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake
released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels
unless you
must. If the vehicle must be towed on the
drive wheels,
be sure to follow the speed and distance
restrictions later in this section or your transaxle will be
damaged.
If these limitations must be exceeded, then the
drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly.

A CAUTION:
Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the
passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In

After you’ve put the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you’ll need to store
the flat tire in your trunk. Use the
following procedure
to secure the flat tire in the trunk.
Put the
flat tire in the trunk so the side that faces out
when it is on the vehicle is facing down. The full-size

fit down into the well. Place it so the front is
in the well and the rear is out of the well.
