AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle
with all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmis-
sion is operable, the vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the following condi-
tions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
• The towing distance must not exceed 24 km.
• The towing speed must not exceed 40 km/h.
If the transmission is not operable, or the ve-
hicle must be towed faster than 40 km/h or
farther than 24 km, it must be towed with the
front wheels OFF the ground (using a flatbed
truck, towing dolly, or wheel lift equipment with
the front wheels raised).
Failure to follow these towing methods
can cause severe engine or transmission
damage. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
