If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or
organization. Never tow your vehicle
with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.

truck.
The operator will load
your vehicle on the back of a truck.
Any other method of towing will
damage the drive system. When you
contact the towing agency, inform
them a flat-bed is required.
If, due to damage, your vehicle must
be towed with the front wheels on
the ground, do this:
The tow
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the front tires and lift them off
the ground. The rear tires remain on
the ground.
Start the engine.
Shift to the D position and hold for
5 seconds, then to N.
Turn off the engine.
Release the parking brake.
Leave the ignition switch in the
ACCESSORY (I) position so the
steering wheel does not lock.
Models equipped with the
keyless access system have an
engine start/stop button instead
of an ignition switch.
ACCESSORY Mode is the
equivalent of ACCESSORY (I).
