* If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the car.
The car should be towed with the rear wheels on the ground, if at all possible. If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, please refer to the towing information on the previous page.
Towing cars with All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Cars equipped with All Wheel Drive must not be towed or transported with only one of the axles raised. Towing or transporting the car incorrectly will damage the viscous coupling which distributes power between the front
and rear drive wheels.
Jump starting
If the 12-volt booster battery to be used is in another car, check that the cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of a negative circuit. Note the position of the battery terminals and using jumper cables:
• First connect the booster battery positive (+) terminal (1) to car battery positive (+) terminal (2).
• Then connect booster battery negative (-) terminal (3) to a stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery (4).
Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove the positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
WARNING!
Do not use the towing eyelets on the car to pull the car up on to a flat bed tow truck.
pg. 78 Jump starting
CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or use of other than 12-volt batteries could result in damage to equipment and/or the battery.
