What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an emer-
gency without wheel dollies :
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front of the vehicle. Use
extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes.

Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion.
Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transaxle shift
lever in N (Neutral) may cause inter-
nal damage to the transaxle.

communicate with each other frequent-
ly.
