Getting to Know Your
VUE
18
Towing Your Vehicle
The following are the recommended
towing methods for your VUE. Note that
alternate towing methods can be used
on models equipped with the manual,
4-speed automatic or 5-speed automatic
transaxle.
Manual, 4-Speed Automatic or
5-Speed Automatic Models
These models can be towed from the
front with the front wheels placed on a
dolly or from the front with all four
wheels on the ground.
For 5-speed automatic transaxle mod-
els, the towing method with all four
wheels on the ground is limited to 520
miles (837 km) at speeds below 65 mph
(105 km/h).
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
Towing your vehicle from the rear
could cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by the warranty. Never have
your vehicle towed from the rear.
Removing and Securing the
Fuel Cap
To remove your vehicle’s fuel cap, turn it
to the left about half a turn.
To reinstall the cap after filling your tank,
turn the cap to the right (clockwise)
about a quarter turn until you hear at
least three clicks. An improperly installed
fuel cap may cause a fuel vapor leak,
or cause your vehicle’s Service Engine
Soon Light (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
to illuminate.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note:
If the “Service Engine Soon”
light is flashing, bring your vehicle in
for diagnosis and service as soon as
possible. Depending on the cause of
the alert, if you continue driving, this
could cause damage to your vehicle’s
emission control system.
Fuel Economy
Your VUE’s fuel economy rating can
be found on your driver’s side window
sticker. Your actual mileage may vary
depending upon vehicle options, driving
habits and conditions, and the vehicle’s
overall condition.

information, including a Consumer
Information Guide and tips for improving
gas mileage, visit the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) website at:
