WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 369 CAUTION! • If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the ON position, not in the LOCK or ACC position. • Do not attempt to tow this vehicle from the front with sling type towing equipment. Damage to the front fascia will result. • Do not push or tow this vehicle with another vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and transaxle may result. If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the key must be in the ON position, not the ACC position. Make certain the transaxle remains in NEUTRAL. WITHOUT THE IGNITION KEY Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK position. Flat bed towing is the preferred towing method. However, if a flat bed towing vehicle is not available, a wheel lift towing vehicle may be used. Furthermore, rear towing is not recommended with the front wheels on the ground, as transaxle damage can result. If rear towing is the only alternative, a front end dolly must be used. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. TOWING THIS VEHICLE BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE (Flat towing with all four wheels on the ground) Flat towing of vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, is only permitted within the limitations described in this section. 6
