Towing Information: Service and Repair

TOWING

Towing

-

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. State and local laws must be followed.

-

A towed vehicle usually should have its front wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.

-

When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.

CAUTION:  Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheel on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.

CAUTION:  Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Tiedown Hooks

CAUTION:  Don't use the tiding hook under the rear for tiedown. It is designed ONLY for tying down the vehicle when it's being transported.
Using it for tiedown will damage the bumper.

NOTE:  When tiedown with chain or cable, wrap the chain or cable with a soft cloth near the bumper to prevent damage to the bumper.

1. Remove the tiedown eyelet from trunk.
