TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

TOWING WITH THE IGNITION KEY

Front Wheel Drive
Your vehicle may be towed (with all 4 wheels flat on the
ground), under the following conditions: The gear selector
must be in NEUTRAL, the distance to be traveled must not
exceed 15 mi (25 km), and the towing speed must not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h). Exceeding these towing limits may cause
a transaxle failure. If the transaxle is not operative, or if the

vehicle is to be towed more than 15 mi (25 km), the vehicle
must be transported either with a flat bed truck or with the
front wheels off the ground.

All Wheel Drive
Your All Wheel Drive vehicle must be transported on a
flat bed truck.

CAUTION!

If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the

ignition switch must be in the ON position, not in
the LOCK or ACC position.

with sling type towing equipment. Damage to the
front fascia will result.

Do not push or tow this vehicle with another

vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-
axle may result.
