Towing vehicles with automatic
transmission
When a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is towed, the selector
lever must be in position N
(neutral).
Never tow a vehicle with
automatic transmission
faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or
further than 30 miles
(50 kilometres).
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle
a greater distance, the drive wheels
must be lifted clear off the ground.
The towed vehicle must face
forwards when being towed.
Roadside emergencies
Never tow a vehicle
backwards with the drive
wheels turning. If this instruction
is not adhered to, it could cause
damage to the automatic
transmission.
Push or tow starting is not
possible on a vehicle fitted with
automatic transmission. Use
jump leads.
