WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 305 CAUTION! (Continued) Do not attempt to use sling type equipment when towing. When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach it to front or rear suspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing. If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the key must be in the ON position, not the ACC position. Make certain the transaxle remains in NEUTRAL. Towing Without The Key-In-Ignition Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Towing Behind Another Vehicle (Flat Towing with all four wheels on the ground) If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transaxle, it may be towed in a forward direction, at any legal highway speed, for any distance, if the transaxle is in NEUTRAL. If the ignition key is not available, vehicles with automatic transaxles can not be flat towed at any time. 6
