WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

!

1) If the vehicle is being towed with the rear

wheels on the ground, be sure the parking
brake is released.

NOTE:

Before towing, check the level of the auto-
matic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT"
range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you
cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be
used.

2) If any of the loaded wheels or suspension

components are damaged or the vehicle is
being towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.

CAUTION:

A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should
never be towed from the rear with the front
wheels on the ground. This can cause se-
rious damage to the transaxle. Be sure to
use a towing dolly under the front wheels.

3) It is recommended that your vehicle be

towed with all the wheels off the ground.

When towing the 4WD vehicle, it must be towed
by lifting all 4 wheels or using the towing dolly.
