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 transmission should be in NEUTRAl (N) and
the parking brake released.
Don't have your vehicle towed
on the rear wheels, unless you must. If the
vehicle must be towed on the rear wheels, don't go more than 35 mph
(55 km/h) or farther than 50 miles (80
k m )
or your transmission will be
damaged. If these limits must be exceeded, then the rear wheels have to
be supported on a dolly.
