When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
off.
The steering wheel should be clamped in a
straight-ahead position, with a clamping device
designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle’s
steering column lock for this. The transmission should
be in Neutral and the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the rear wheels,
unless you must.
If
the vehicle must be towed on the
rear wheels, don’t
go
more than
35
mph
(57
kph)
or .
farther than
50
miles
(80
km)
or your transmission
will
be damaged.
If
these limits must be exceeded, then the
rear wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
