When your vehicle is being towed, have
the ignition key off. The steering wheel
should be clamped in a straight-ahead
position, with a clamping device
designed for towing service. Do not use
the vehicle's steering column lock for
this. The transaxle should be in Neutral,
and the parking brake released.
Don't have your vehicle towed on the
front wheels, unless you must. If the
vehicle must be towed on the front
wheels, don't go more than 35 mph
(56 W h ) or farther than 50 miles
(80
km)
or your transaxle will be
damaged. If these limits must be
exceeded, then the front wheels have to
be supported on a dolly.
