o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
WITH NO DAMAGE
The vehicle may be towed by the conven-
tional method using the towing eye at the front
of the vehicle as an attachment point. In
addition, a suspended tow with or without an
ambulance may be used with either the front
or the rear wheels being suspended, provided
the above caution is observed.
In addition, the following points must
be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the
ignition key must be at the "ACC" posi-
tion, otherwise the steering lock will be
activated.
o Because the brake system and steering
system power assistance is derived from
the engine, the amount of effort re-
quired to stop or steer the vehicle will
be greater than normal.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
o If a suspended tow is being given to the
rear, the ignition key must be at the
"ACC" position since the steering lock
is not designed to withstand the force
required to hold the front wheels straight
during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with the
front wheels on the ground for more
than thirty miles.
