93_US_MY09.book Page 193 Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:30 AM Starting and driving 193 Driving with the trunk lid open WARNING Avoid driving with the trunk lid partly or fully open, since exhaust fumes can be drawn into the cabin. If you must drive with the trunk lid open, close all windows and the moonroof (if equipped) and set the cabin fan to its highest speed setting. Towing the car WARNING • Remember that the brake servo does not operate when the engine is off. Much greater pressure than normal will therefore be required to operate the brake pedal. • Nor does the steering servo operate when the engine is off. The steering will therefore be much heavier than usual. • The towing vehicle should always be heavier than the vehicle on tow. • Never allow passengers to ride in the car when it is on tow. • Always seek professional help if the car needs to be recovered. • The ignition switch must be in the ON position if the car is moved with the engine not running. • The steering wheel lock must be disengaged before towing the car. • The steering wheel lock disengages when the remote control is inserted into the ignition switch, if the battery has sufficient charge. Driving in deep water NOTICE Do not drive in puddles or water deeper than 7 in. (20 cm) and do not drive faster than 3-4 mph. Water can otherwise be sucked into the engine. The engine will be seriously damaged if water enters the intake system.
