If Your Vehicle Has Anti-Lock Brakes; Towing - Dodge 18693 Stratus Coupe Owner's Manual

284 EMERGENCIES
WARNING!
• Always wear protective clothing and goggles
when working near the battery.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes

If the vehicle is driven without sufficient battery charge,
after the engine has been started by using booster cables,
the engine may misfire. This can cause the anti-lock
braking system warning light to blink on and off. This is
a result of insufficient battery voltage; it is not a malfunc-
tion of the brake system. If this happens, fully charge the
battery before driving.

TOWING

When towing your vehicle, all state and local regulations for
towing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment could
damage your vehicle. When towing is required, contact a
professional towing service and make sure that flat bed type,
dolly type or wheel lift type towing equipment is used. Do
not attempt to be towed by another vehicle with a rope using
the tie-down hooks.
CAUTION!
• Tie-down hooks should never be used for towing
purposes.
• This vehicle can NOT be towed by a tow truck
using sling lift type equipment. This is to prevent
the bumper from deformation. If this vehicle is
towed, use wheel lift, dolly type or flat bed
equipment.
• Use the flat bed type, dolly type or dolly type
equipment if a vehicle has the following condi-
tions:
Any of the transaxle, axles, steering system or
power train is damaged.
Automatic transaxle fluid level is low.
