LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
TOWING (Continued)
WITHOUT THE IGNITION KEY
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is
towed with the ignition in the LOCK position. The
only approved method of towing with out the ignition
key is with a flat bed truck. Proper towing equip-
ment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
TOWING THIS VEHICLE BEHIND ANOTHER
VEHICLE (Flat towing with all four wheels on the
ground)
Flat towing of vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission, is only permitted within the limitations
described in this section.
FLAT TOWING WITH TOW BAR
• Four speed electronic automatic transaxle vehi-
cles can be flat towed at speeds not to exceed 72
km/h (44 mph) for not more than 160 km (100 miles).
The steering column must be unlocked and gear
selector in neutral.
• AWD models should not be flat towed. For addi-
tional information, refer to RECOMMENDED TOW-
ING EQUIPMENT in this section.
TOWING THIS VEHICLE BEHIND ANOTHER
VEHICLE WITH A TOW DOLLEY
The manufacture does not recommend that you
tow an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or front wheel drive
vehicle on a tow dolley. Vehicle damage may occur.
VEHICLE STORAGE
STANDARD PROCEDURE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more
than 21 days you may want to take steps to protect
your battery. You may:
• Rotate the holder and 30 Amp fuse in the Inte-
grated Power Module labeled Ignition-Off Draw
(IOD) 180 degrees.
• Or, disconnect the negative cable from the bat-
tery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
insure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
