WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
CAUTION:
o When towing the vehicle, take care
not to cause damage to the bumper or
underbody of the vehicle.
!
NOTE:
Before towing, check the level of the
automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below
the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add
fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing
dolly must be used.
2) If any of the loaded wheels or suspen-
sion components are damaged or the
vehicle is being towed with the front
wheels on the ground, use a towing
dolly under the front wheels.
o Manual Transaxle:
If you do not use a towing dolly, place
the ignition key in the "ACC" position
and put the transaxle in "N (Neutral)".
CAUTION:
Do not tow with the key removed or in the
"LOCK" position when towing from the
rear without a towing dolly.
