Put the transmission in N.
Turn the engine switch to the ACC (engine off) or ON (engine run-
ning) position.
n Caution while towing
l Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cables or chains.
l If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

Never tow this vehicle from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.
This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
