TOWING
GI-19prose procedureApplies to both automatic (A/T) and manual (M/T) transaxle.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Laws and regulations applicable to vehicles in tow must always be observed.
As a general rule, towed vehicles should be pulled with the driving wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent towing the vehicle with the driving wheels off the ground, use wheel dollies.
With either automatic or manual transaxle:
Towing preparation
- 1Set the ignition switch in the ACC position.
- 2Place the selector lever or shift lever in N (Neutral).
- 3Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle backward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.
Don't use the hook loops under the front and rear for towing. They are designed ONLY for tying down the vehicle when it's being transported. Using them for towing will damage the bumper.
