Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles with automatic transaxle:

Do not tow your vehicle with the front drive wheels on the ground as
transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow your vehicle with
the front drive wheels on a dolly or use a car-hauling trailer.

Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles with manual transaxle:

Your vehicle can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground), with
well-designed towing equipment under the following conditions:
• The parking brake is released
• The gearshift is moved to the neutral position
• The ignition is turned to the OFF/UNLOCK position
• Towing speed does not exceed 70 mph (112 km/h). Always obey local
speed limits.
• The vehicle is towed in the forward direction to ensure no damage is
done to the internal transaxle components
Note: There is no limit on how far the vehicle can be towed as long as
these conditions are met.
In addition, it is recommended that you follow the instructions
provided by the aftermarket manufacturer of the towing
apparatus if one has been installed.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles:

Do not tow your All Wheel Drive vehicle with any wheels on the ground
as vehicle or transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow
your vehicle using a car-hauling trailer.
