Without The Ignition Key
• Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the OFF/
LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are
raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Twin Clutch Transmission only). There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift
lever housing that allows you to override the system. Refer to Shift Lever Override in
this guide.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Damage to the drivetrain will result.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing the
vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
