Proper lifting and towing procedures are
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. The use of wheel dollies (1) or a
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the non-driven wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the driven wheels
off the ground. If any of the loaded
wheels or suspension components are
damaged or the vehicle is being towed
with the driven wheels on the ground,
use a towing dolly under the driven
wheels. When being towed by a com
-
mercial tow truck and wheel dollies are
not used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.

If your vehicle is equipped with side and
curtain airbag, set the ENGINE START/
STOP button to ACC position when the

when the ENGINE START/STOP button

detects the situation as a rollover.

dealer by loading the vehicle on a flat

bed tow truck and have the system
checked.
