Don't exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) and a distance of 80 km (50 miles) ; you could damage the transaxle. Towing/Tiedown Hooks CAUTION • The towing hook should be used only in an emergency (to get the vehicle out of a ditch or a snow bank, for example). • When using the towing hook, always pull the cable or chain in a straight direction with respect to the hook. Apply no sideways force. • Don't use the tiedown hooks under the front for towing. They are designed ONLY for tying down the vehicle when it's being transported. Using them for towing will damage the bumper. CAUTION Follow these instructions when towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground. 1. Shift to neutral. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. 3. Release the parking brake. Remember that power assist for the brakes and steering will not be available when the engine is not running. If speed must exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) or a towing distance of 80 km (50 miles), use one of these methods: • Place the front wheels on dollies. • Tow with the front wheels off the ground. • Transport the vehicle on a flat bed truck.
