Acura 2009 TL Navigation System, Owner'S Manual

Page: 613 / 650

With the front wheels on the ground,
it is best to tow the vehicle no farther
than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the
speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).
If you decide to tow your vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground,
make sure you use a properly-
designed and attached tow bar.
Prepare the vehicle for towing as
described above, and leave the
ignition switched in the
ACCESSORY (I) position so the
steering wheel does not lock. Make
sure the radio and any items plugged
into the accessory power socket are
turned off so they do not run down
the battery.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front spoiler, remove it before
towing so it is not damaged.
If the steering wheel does not turn
freely, rotate the wheel right and left
while pressing the ENGINE
START/STOP BUTTON. This
information also appears on the
multi-information display (see page
). 90
