This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Use the following proce-
dures to ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position for automatic transmis-
sion 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 tak-
en not to pull the chains so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.

Never turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being towed because the steering wheel and the direc-

Remember that the brake booster and power steering do not
function when the engine is not running. Because the engine is
turned off, it will take greater effort to operate the brake pedal and
steering wheel.
