NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the automatic transaxle when towing a Saturn S-Series vehicle on all four wheels, make sure automatic transaxle fluid is no
higher than "MAX HOT FOR 4-WHEEL TOWING" level or no lower than "ADD HOT" level shown on the dipstick. Too much or too little
automatic transaxle fluid may damage the automatic transaxle when towing a Saturn S-Series vehicle on all four wheels. This is especially true if the
automatic transaxle is over-filled with automatic transaxle fluid.
The following guideline should be used before towing a S-Series vehicle, equipped with automatic transaxle, on all four wheels (also known as flat
towing).
