Emergency Towing

With the front wheels on the ground,

it is best to tow the car no farther

than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the

speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).

If you decide to tow your car with all

four wheels on the ground, make

sure you use a properly-designed and

attached tow bar. Prepare the car for

towing as described above, and leave

the ignition switch in Accessory (I)

so the steering wheel does not lock.

Make sure the radio and any items

plugged into the accessory power

socket are turned off so they do not

run down the battery.

The steering wheel system can be

damaged if the steering wheel is locked.

Leave the ignition switch in Accessory

(I), and make sure the steering wheel

turns freely before you begin towing.

Trying to lift or tow your car by the

bumpers will cause serious damage.

The bumpers are not designed to

support the car's weight.
