the engine compartment. If any fuse is blown,

4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior. If there is
a burned out fuse, remove it with the fuse puller

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can
damage the transmission.
