Trailer Towing Do not use your vehicle for towing a trailer. Towing Behind Another Vehicle - Recreational Vehicle Towing an automatic transaxle (ATX) equipped vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), is not recommended unless a front wheel dolly or trailer is used. Do not tow your ATX equipped vehicle with the front wheels on the ground or transaxle damage may occur. Towing a manual transaxle (MTX) equipped vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), is allowed only if it is towed forward. The parking brake must be released, the gearshift must be in Neutral, the ignition key must be in the ACC position, the battery must be disconnected to eliminate battery drain, and the steering wheel unlocked. You may tow your MTX equipped vehicle only in a forward direction with the front wheels on the ground without damage to the transaxle. 119
