TOWING THIS VEHICLE BEHIND ANOTHER
VEHICLE WITH A TOW DOLLY
Rear towing is not recommended with the front wheels
on the ground, as transaxle damage can result. If rear
towing is the only alternative, a front end dolly must be
used. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle.

Without Power — Override Transaxle Interlock
System
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the LOCK position. A dolly should be
used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are raised.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.

Battery power is required to release the brake/transaxle
interlock system. There is an override system that allows
you to shift out of PARK in case of loss of power. To
activate the override system:

• Firmly apply the parking brake.
• Insert the ignition key and rotate it to the ON position.
• Remove the cup holder liner.
• Insert a key, screwdriver, or finger into the front hole

then push and hold the manual override release lever
forward.

• While holding the release lever forward, move the

shift lever from Park to Neutral.

• Release the override.
