General Information: Towing: Notes

• Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
• A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.
• When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.

CAUTION:

• Don't tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.
