Use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
NOTICE
Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission

may cause serious damage to the transmission.
D From rear
40sa43
Place the ignition switch in the "ACC" position.
D Do not tow with the key removed or in the "LOCK"
position, as the steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.

ground clearance for towing at the opposite end of
the raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper and/or
underbody of the towed vehicle will be damaged
during towing.
