Vehicle Care

Once the destination has been
reached:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Shift the transmission to

P (Park).

3. Turn the ignition key to

LOCK/OFF.

4. Install fuse 32, the Discrete

Logic Ignition Switch fuse. See
Instrument Panel Fuse Block on
page 9‑40
.

5. Start the engine and let it idle for

more than three minutes before
driving the vehicle.

Notice: Too much or too
little fluid can damage the
transmission. Be sure that the
transmission fluid is at the proper
level before towing with all four
wheels on the ground.

Notice: Do not tow a vehicle with
the front drive wheels on the
ground if one of the front tires is
a compact spare tire. Towing with
two different tire sizes on the
front of the vehicle can cause
severe damage to the
transmission.

Dolly Towing (All-Wheel‐Drive
Vehicles)

All-wheel‐drive vehicles should not
be towed with two wheels on the
ground. To properly tow these
vehicles, they should be placed on
a platform trailer with all four wheels
off of the ground or dinghy towed
from the front.

Dolly Towing
(Front-Wheel‐Drive Vehicles)

To tow the vehicle from the front
with the rear wheels on the ground,
do the following:

1. Put the front wheels on a dolly.

2. Move the shift lever to P (Park).

3. Set the parking brake.
