Towing the Vehicle
The rear towing eye is located below
at the right, below the bumper.
The front towing eye is located on the
passenger side behind a flap in the
bumper panel.
Flap removal: Insert finger in bottom re­
cess of flap and pull flap out. Remove
flap by pulling downward.
Flap installation: Engage the flap at the
top and press in the bottom securely.
We recommend that the vehicle be
transported using flat bed equipment.
This method is preferable to other
types of towing.
The vehicle may be towed with all
of the wheels on the ground and the
selector lever in position “ N’Vneutral
for distances up to 120 km (75 miles)
and at a speed not to exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph).
To positively avoid a possibility of dam­
age to the transmission, however, we
recommend to disconnect the drive
shaft at the rear axle drive flange on
any towing beyond a short tow to a
nearby garage.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Towing with sling-type equipment over
bumpy roads will damage radiator and
supports.
Use wheel lift or flat bed equipment.
Note:
With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the braking and
steering systems. In this case, it is im­
portant to keep in mind that a conside­
rably higher degree of effort is neces­
sary to brake and steer the vehicle.
Vehicles with Acceleration Slip
Control (ASR):
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised, the key must not be in
steering lock position 2. Otherwise, the
acceleration slip control will immedi­
ately be engaged and will apply the
rear wheel brakes.
If the battery is discharged the engine
can be started with jumper cables and
the (12 V) battery of another vehicle.
Jump Starting
Warning!
Failure to follow these directions
can lead to a battery explosion and
personal injury.
Read all instructions before pro­
ceeding.
Proceed as follows:
1. Position the vehicle with the
charged battery so that the jumper
cables will reach, but never let the
vehicles touch. Make sure the
jumper cables do not have loose or
missing insulation.
2. On both vehicles:
• Turn off engine and all lights and
accessories, except hazard
flashers or work lights.
• Apply parking brake and shift
selector lever to position “ P”
(neutral for manual transmission).
