Before towing, check the level of the
automatic transaxle fluid. If it is be-

add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a
towing dolly must be used.

pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
front wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle:
If you do not use a towing dolly, place
the ignition key in the "ACC" position
and put the transaxle in "N (Neutral)".

CAUTION:
Do not tow with the key removed or
in the "LOCK" position when towing
from the rear without a towing
dolly.

Be sure to use a towing dolly under
the front wheels.
