Towing This Vehicle Behind Another
Vehicle (Flat Towing With The Key In
The Ignition And All Four Wheels On
The Ground)
CAUTION!
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering,
the ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion, not in the LOCK or ACC position.
• Do not attempt to tow this vehicle from the
front with sling-type towing equipment.
Damage to the front fascia will result.
• Do not push or tow this vehicle with another
vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia
and transaxle may result.

NOTE:
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the key
must be in the ON position, not the ACC
position. Make certain the transaxle remains
in NEUTRAL.
Vehicles Equipped with an Automatic
Transaxle
Your vehicle may be towed under the following
conditions: The shift lever must be in NEU-
TRAL, the distance to be traveled must not
exceed 15 miles (25 km), and the towing speed
must not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Exceeding
these towing limits may cause a transaxle fail-
ure. If the transaxle is not operative, or if the
vehicle is to be towed more than 15 miles
(25 km), the vehicle must be transported either
with a flatbed truck or with the front wheels off
the ground.
Vehicles Equipped with a Manual Transaxle
ONLY vehicles equipped with a MANUAL
TRANSAXLE may be flat towed at any legal
highway speed, for any distance, if the
MANUAL TRANSAXLE is in NEUTRAL and
the ignition key is in the ACC position.
Towing This Vehicle Behind Another
Vehicle With A Tow Dolly
Rear towing is not recommended with the
front wheels on the ground, as transaxle dam-
age can result. If rear towing is the only alter-
native, a front end dolly must be used. Proper
towing equipment is necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
