If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle with manual
freewheeling hubs, it can be towed from the front with
all four wheels on the ground. Follow these steps:
1.
Set the parking brake.
2.
Turn the ignition key to ACC to unlock the
steering wheel.
3.
Shift your automatic transmission into PARK
(P),
or
your manual transmission to SECOND
(2).
4.
Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N).
5.
Set the hubs to FREE. See “Four-Wheel-Drive” in
the Index.
6.
Release the parking brake.
Stop towing every
200
miles
(300
km)
and start
the engine. Leave the transfer case shift lever
in
NEUTRAL
(N).
Shift your automatic transmission
to
DRIVE
(D);
leave a manual transmission in
SECOND (2)
with the clutch engaged. Run the engine at
medium speed for one minute to circulate oil in the
transfer case.
Turn
the ignition key to ACC. Now
you
can continue towing your
Geo.

NOTICE:
The front wheels transmit shocks during towing.
The steering column may not be strong enough to
withstand the shocks. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the towing speed does not
exceed
50
mph
(80
kmh),
or your Geo could be
badly damaged.
