13-28 Useful advice for emergencies
CAUTION
Before towing an automatic transmission vehi-
cle, disconnect the propeller shaft or rear axle
shaft. Alternatively, tow the vehicle with its rear
wheels off the ground. Towing the vehicle with-
out taking these precautions would damage the
automatic transmission.
• Before raising the front wheels for towing,
remove the bumper and air scoop to prevent
them from damaging.
• Attach the towing chain securely to the front
axle.
CAUTION
• Do not attach the chain to the bumper since
the bumper would be damaged upon raising
the front wheels or towing.
• Before raising the front wheels or towing,
confirm that the chain will not damage any
parts of the vehicle. Remove the parts that
may be damaged.
• Tow the vehicle only with a specially
designed towing truck.
• If you disconnect the rear axle shaft to tow
the vehicle, the axle housing gear oil may be
depleted. Check the axle housing gear oil
and add more if necessary. P. 12-32
