Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
Towing the Vehicle
{
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should be towed on a flatbed car
carrier. Use care when there is
low ground clearance and/or
special equipment. Attempting to
pull the vehicle onto a flatbed
without following the proper steps
could damage the vehicle.
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
See Roadside Assistance Program
on page 13-5.
To load a vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier:
1. The vehicle must be on a flat
surface.
2. The front tires must be properly
inflated. If necessary, move a
rear tire to the front to replace a
flat or damaged tire.
3. Place a 1.2 m (4 ft) X 102 mm
(4 in) X 102 mm (4 in) wood
beam (4) under the front cradle
crossmember (3), and on top of
both tow chains (5) to ensure the
tow chains do not come into
contact with the front fascia (1).
Try to minimize the contact of
the chains with the flexible
air dam (2).
