the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the trans-
mission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels raised, always use towing dollies under
the rear wheels. 

●

When towing rear wheel drive models with the front wheels on the ground or on towing dollies:

tion with a rope or similar device.Never secure the steering wheel by turning the ignition key to the
LOCK position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism.

should be towed with the front wheels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck.

If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft before towing to prevent dam-
age to the transmission.
