The vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or steel cables before it transported. is Don't use substitutes (ropes, leather straps, canvas webbing, etc.) that canbe cut by sharp edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use T-hooks inserted in the front T-hook slots or R-hooks insertedin the rear R-hook slots. Never use J-hooks. They will damage drivetrain and suspension components. When your vehicle is being towed, havethe ignition key turned to the OFF position. The steering wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle's steering column lock for this. The transaxle should be in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake released. Don't have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels unless you must. If the vehicle must be towed on the drive wheels, be sure to follow the speed and distance restrictions later in this section or your transaxle will be damaged. If these limitations must be exceeded, then the drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
