3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 18 o Automatic Transaxle: Be sure to use a towing dolly under the front wheels. D080D01MC-AAT EMERGENCY TOWING Front (If Installed) ! CAUTION: OMC045015 For emergency towing when no commercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This may result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes. NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used. Rear D080B03MC A vehicle with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause serious damage to the transaxle. 3) It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with all the wheels off the ground. OMC045016
