HOW TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE
If your vehicle needs to be transported,
it should be carried on a flatbed trailer
of the proper size and capacity.
CAUTION If you need to push
the vehicle, do it from the right-hand
side to be able to reach the brake
pedal.
When pulling the vehicle back-
wards, be careful that the front
wheel does not roll over your feet.

Do not tow this vehicle—
towing can seriously damage the ve-
hicle drive system.
When contacting a towing or trans-
porting service, be sure to ask if they
have a flatbed trailer, loading ramp or
power ramp to safely lift the vehicle
and tie-down straps. Ensure the vehi-
cle is properly transported as specified

the vehicle — they may damage
the surface finish or plastic com-
ponents.

ceed as follows:
