In case of emergency
" Use only the specified towing hook and tie-
down hook. Never use suspension parts or oth-
er body parts for towing or tie-down purposes.
"
Never use the tie-down hook on the under-
side of the vehicle closest to the muffler for
towing purposes.
! Using a flat-bed truck
This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Use the
following procedures to ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position for au-
tomatic transmission vehicles or “1st” for manual
transmission vehicles.
2. Pull up the parking brake lever firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier properly with
safety chains. Each safety chain should be equally
tightened and care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
If your vehicle has a front underspoiler and rear
underspoiler (both optional), be careful not to
scrape them when placing the vehicle on the
carrier and when removing the vehicle from the
carrier.
