Speed-sensitive power steering
(Option on certain models)
With this feature, the steering is most responsive at lower speeds to
make parking, driving in city traffic, etc., easier. The effect of the power
steering diminishes as you accelerate for greater stability at highway
speeds.
Weight distribution affects handling

Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding
rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to immedi-
ate traffic conditions. Observe the following rules:

Emergency towing
The towing eyelet is located in the tool bag,
under the floor of the cargo area, with the
spare tire. This eyelet must be screwed into the
positions provided on the right sides of either
the front or rear bumper (see illustration). To
attach the towing eyelet:
•=

After the car has been towed, the eyelet should
be removed and returned to the tool bag. Press
the cover back into position.

CAUTION:
•Please check with state and local authori-
ties before attempting this type of towing,
as vehicles being towed are subject to
regulations regarding maximum towing
speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.
•If the car’s battery is dead, do not attempt
to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
as this will damage the three-way catalytic
converter(s). The engine must be jump
started using an auxiliary battery (see page
109).
•If the car is being towed on a flat bed
truck, the towing eyelets must not be used
to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult
the tow truck operator.
WARNING!
•Remember that the power brakes and
power steering will not function when
engine is not running. The braking and
steering systems will function but the
brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4
times above normal and greater steering
effort must be exerted.
•The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or
for any similar purpose involving severe
strain.
•Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the
car up onto a flat bed tow truck.
