Towing Information: Service and Repair




TOWING

- Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be followed.
- A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.
- When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.






CAUTION:
- Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.






CAUTION:
- Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.






Vehicle Securing Position

- When transporting the vehicle by flat bed tow truck or trailer, secure the vehicle to the trailer using the holes and left tiedown loop shown in the figure.
