Owner`s manual
A
CAUTION:
I
-
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 webbing, 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.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition
key
off.
The steering wheel should be clamped 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.
Don’t have your vehicle towed
on
the front wheels,
unless you must.
If
the vehicle must be towed on the
front wheels, see the speed and distance restrictions later
in
this
section, or
your
transaxle will be damaged.
If
these limits must be exceeded, then the front wheels
have to be supported on a dolly.
