CAUTION

Never tow CVT models with the front

wheels on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or backward), as
this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission. If it is nec-
essary to tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels raised always use towing dollies
under the front wheels.

When towing with the front wheels on

towing dollies:

– Place the ignition switch to the OFF

position, and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position
with a rope or similar device. Never
secure the steering wheel by placing
the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion. This may damage the steering
lock mechanism.

– Move the gearshift selector to the N

(Neutral) position.

When towing CVT models with the rear

wheels on the ground (if you do not use
towing dollies): Always release the
parking brake.

When towing CVT models with the front

wheels on the ground, dollies must be
used or place the vehicle on a flat bed
truck.
