Emergency towing precautions
Turn the Engine Start/Stop button
to ACC position so the steering
wheel isn’t locked.
Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
The vehicle should be towed at a speed of 15 mph (25 km/h) or less
within a distance of 12 miles (20
km). If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to ACC position.
A driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.CAUTION- Automatic
transmission
To avoid serious damage to the automatic, limit the vehiclespeed to 10 mph (15 km/h) anddrive less than 1 mile (1.5 km)when towing.
Before towing, check the auto- matic transmission for fluidleaks under your vehicle. If theautomatic transmission fluidis leaking, flatbed equipmentor a towing dolly must beused.
