Towing the vehicle
The towed vehicle should always 
be the lighter of the two vehicles. 
If this is not the case, it is no longer 
possible to control vehicle response.< 
Tow-startingIt is not possible to start the engine of 
vehicles equipped with an automatic 
transmission by towing or pushing.
For instructions on jump-starting: refer 
to page 162.
Never attempt to use your vehicle to 
push another vehicle, since damage to 
the energy-absorbing bumpers could 
result.
Towing a vehicle with automatic 
transmission1. Place the selector lever in position N
2. Towing speed:
Max. 45 mph (70 km/h)
3. Towing distance:
Max. 95 miles (150 km)
4. Leave the ignition key in position 1 to 
ensure that the brake lamps, turn 
signals, horn and windshield wipers 
remain operative, and to prevent the 
steering lock detent from engaging
5. Switch on the hazard warning 
flashers (observe official regulations).
Find some means of identifying the 
vehicle in tow, for instance, place a sign 
or warning triangle in the rear window.
Make sure that the ignition key 
remains in position 1 even when 
the electrical system has failed to 
prevent the steering lock from 
engaging. The steering and brakes are 
without power-assist when the engine 
is off. This means that increased effort 
is required for steering and braking.< 
Towing with a commercial 
tow truck>Do not tow with sling-type equipment
>Use a wheel-lift or flatbed carrier
>Please comply with applicable towing 
laws.
Never allow passengers to ride in 
a towed vehicle for any reason.< 380us124
