What to do in an emergency
僅 Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.
僅 Before towing, check the automatic
transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed equip-
ment or a towing dolly must be used.
NOTICE
僅 Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle in
a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.
僅 To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
- Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
- Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
- Limit the vehicle speed to 10 mph
(15 km/h) and drive less than 1 mile
(1.5 km) when towing to avoid seri-
ous damage to the automatic trans-
mission.
