Extended Towing
When towing your Element for long
periods, remove the 7.5A Accessory/
Radio fuse to reduce the drain on the
battery. This fuse is located in the
interior fuse box and is shown as
number 8 below.
Only remove the fuse after you have
performed the transmission shifting
procedure, and the key is in the
ACCESSORY (I) position. Store the
fuse in an obvious location (center
tray, coin pockets, etc) as a reminder
to re-install the fuse before driving
the vehicle.
