We recommend that the vehicle be
transported using flat bed equipment.
This method is preferable to other types
of towing.
Note:
Jump Starting
Warning!
To signal turns while being towed
with hazard warning flasher in use,
turn key in steering lock to position 2
and activate combination switch for
left or right turn signal in usual
manner - only the selected turn
signal will operate.
Failure to follow these directions will
cause damage to the electronic
components, and can lead to a
battery explosion and personal
injury.
The vehicle may be towed with all
wheels on the ground and the selector
lever in position "N" for distances up to
30
miles (50 km) and at a speed not to
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Upon canceling the turn signal, the
hazard flasher will operate again.
Never lean over batteries while
connecting or jump starting, you
might get injured.
To positively avoid a possibility of
damage to the transmission, however,
we recommend to disconnect the drive
shaft at the rear axle drive flange on
any towing beyond a short tow to a
nearby garage.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid.
Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing. In
case it does, immediately flush
affected area with water, and seek
medical help if necessary.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Towing with sling-type equipment over
bumpy roads will damage radiator and
supports.
A battery will also produce hydrogen
gas, which is flammable and very
explosive. Keep flames or sparks
away from battery, avoid improper
connection of jumper cables,
smoking etc..
Use wheel lift, dolly, or flat bed
equipment, with key in steering lock
turned to position 0.
Read all instructions before
proceeding.
