Emergency towing precautions
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
•
Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
• 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 ignition
switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
•
•
Release the parking brake.
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 transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h)
and
drive less than 1 mile (1.5
km) when towing.
•
Before towing, check the auto-
matic transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transmission fluid is leak-
ing, flatbed equipment or a tow-
ing dolly must be used.
