Dinghy Towing (Manual or Five-Speed Automatic Transaxle*) Notice: Towing your vehicle after shifting the five-speed automatic transaxle from anything other than DRIVE (D) to NEUTRAL (N) can cause internal damage to the automatic transaxle. Always shift the five-speed automatic transaxle from DRIVE (D) to NEUTRAL (N) as the last shift before towing. 5. If you have the automatic five-speed transaxle, shift your transaxle from DRIVE (D) to NEUTRAL and let the engine run for three minutes, then turn it off. 6. Locate and remove the large IGNITION fuse from the underhood fuse block. See "Instrument Panel Fuse Block" under Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-98. Notice: If you tow your vehicle without performing each of the steps listed under "Dinghy Towing," you could damage the automatic transaxle. Be sure to follow all steps of the dinghy towing procedure prior to and after towing your vehicle. Notice: If you tow your vehicle for more than eight hours per day or at speeds greater than 65 mph (105 km/h), you could damage the automatic transaxle. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not tow your vehicle for extended periods of time or at speeds greater than 65 mph (105 km/h). To tow your vehicle from the front with all four wheels on the ground, do the following: 1. Position and attach the vehicle to tow it behind the recreational vehicle. 2. Turn the ignition key to ACC. 3. Turn fog lamps and all accessories off. 4. If you have the manual transaxle, shift your transaxle to NEUTRAL and let the engine run for three minutes, then turn it off. 4-47
