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.

More  steering  effort  will  be  required
because  the  power   steering  system
will be disabled.

brakes  may  overheat and  brake  per-
formance  will be  reduced. Stop  often
and let the brakes cool off.
