IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
To move a disabled vehicle, it is best to rely on someone in the wrecker or tow truck
business. If that is not possible, follow these procedures.
When towing, use appropriate equipment and comply with local legal requirements.
Do not try to start the engine by towing or pushing the vehicle.
WARNING
• Be sure to chock the wheels when disconnecting the propeller shaft. The
vehicle could start to move and cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
• For a manual transmission model, place the gearshift lever in the "N" position,
and tow for a maximum distance of 10 km (6.2 miles) at speeds less than 40
km/h (25 MPH). Other than the above, disconnect the propeller shaft when
towing to avoid damage to the transmission.
• For AMT vehicles, place the gearshift lever in the "N" position and make sure
the shift indicator displays "N". Tow for a maximum distance of 10 km (6.2 miles)
at speeds less than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
When the shift indicator does not indicate "N", or in situations other than the
above, disconnect the propeller shaft when towing to avoid damage to the
transmission.
• Whenever possible, tow a vehicle with the engine started.
If the engine is not started:
- The brakes will not be as effective;
- The steering wheel will be hard to turn;
- The steering wheel could lock, making it impossible to turn. This is extremely
dangerous (particularly when the ignition key is removed).
