CAUTION:
A car with an automatic transaxle
should never be towed from the
rear with the front wheels on the
ground. This can cause serious
damage to the transaxle. If the car
must be towed from the rear, a tow-
ing dolly must be used under the
front wheels.
o If the car is being towed with the
front wheels on the ground, be sure
that the transaxle is in neutral. Also,
be sure that the ignition key is in the
"ACC"position.Thisisnecessaryto

to hold the front wheels straight
