Emergency towing precautions
CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
•
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
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 transaxle is in neu-
tral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
•
Place the transaxle 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 steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.

•
To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transaxle, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph)
•
•
Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5
m) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap
is not loosened during towing.
and
drive less than 1.5 km (1
mile) when towing.
Before towing, check the auto-
matic transaxle for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transaxle fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing
dolly must be used.
