The gear selector must be in position N.
Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not exceed the maximum allowable towing speed.
Maximum distance with front wheels on ground: 50 miles (80 km).
While the car is being towed, try to keep the tow rope taut at all times.
The cars should only be towed in forward direction.
CAUTION:
Please check with state and local authorities before attempting this type of towing, as vehicles being
towed are subject to regulations regarding maximum towing speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.
If the car's battery is dead, do not attempt to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it as this will damage
the three-way catalytic converter(ss). The engine must be jump started using an auxiliary battery (see
page 102).
If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the
flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.
