1) If the vehicle is being towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, be sure
the parking brake is released.
NOTE:
Before towing, check the level of
the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is
below the "HOT" range on the dip-
stick, add fluid. If you cannot add
fluid, a towing dolly must be used.
2) If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
front wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle:
If you do not use a towing dolly,
place the ignition key in the "ACC"
position and put the transaxle in "N
(Neutral)".

CAUTION:
Do not tow with the key removed or
in the "LOCK" position when towing
from the rear without a towing dolly.
o Automatic Transaxle:
Be sure to use a towing dolly under
the front wheels.
CAUTION:
A vehicle with an automatic transaxle
should never be towed from the rear
with the front wheels on the ground.
This can cause serious damage to
the transaxle.
3) It is recommended that your vehicle
be towed with all the wheels off the
ground.

o When towing the vehicle, take care
not to cause damage to the bumper
or underbody of the vehicle.

hicle.
