EMERGENCY TOWING

Towing Hook
For emergency towing when no com-
mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not
attempt to tow your vehicle in this
manner on any unpaved surface. This
could result in serious damage to your
car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing,
be sure the transaxle is in neutral and
the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)
or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed
car to steer it and operate the brakes.

km/h (30 mph) and for more than 25
km (15 miles).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by
placing the key in the "ACC" posi-
tion. A driver must be in the towed
