When your vehicle is being towed,. have
the
ignition key
turned to the
OFF
position. The steering wheel should
be clhmped in
a
straight-ahead position; with
a
clamping
device designed for towing service.
Do
not use
the
vehicle’s steering column lock for
this.
The transaxle
should be
in
NEUTRAL
(N)
and the
parking
brake released.
A
vehicle can fall from
a
car carrier
if
it
isn’t
adequately secured. This can cause a collision,
serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The
vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or
steel cables before
it
is
transported.
Don’t use substitutes (ropes, leather straps,
canvas webbiqg, etc.) that can be cut by sharp
edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use
T-hooks inserted
in
the T-hook slots. Never use
J-hooks. They will damage drivetrain and
suspension components.
Don’t have your vehicle tawed on the drive wheels,
unless
you
must. If the vehicle
must
be towed on the
drive wheels, be sure to follow the speed and distance
restrictions later in
this
section or your transaxle will be
damaged.
If
these limitations must be exceeded, then the
drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
