Emergency Towing
With the front wheels on the ground,
it is best to tow the car no farther
than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the
speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).
If you decide to tow your car with all
four wheels on the ground, make
sure you use a properly-designe d and
attached tow bar. Prepare the car for
towing as described above, and leave
the ignition switch in Accessory (I)
so the steering wheel does not lock.
Make sure the radio and any items
plugged into the accessory power
socket are turned off so they do not
run down the battery.
NOTICE
The steering wheel system can be
damaged if the steering wheel is locked.
Leave the ignition switch in Accessory
(I), and make sure the steering wheel
turns freely before you begin towing.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your car by the
bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to
support the car's weight.
