off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a
straight-ahead position, with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
Do
not use the veh
.ition key
icle's
steering column lock for this. The transmission should
be in
NEUTRAL
(N)
and the parking brake released.
Don't have your vehicle towed on the rear wheels unless
you must.
If
the vehicle must be towed on the rear
wheels, don't
go
more than
35
mph
(55
km/h)
or farther
than
50
miles
(80
km)
or your transmission will be
damaged.
Go
slow over rough ground, and position one
wheel at a time (angled
45

if you have to go over
curbs and rises. Wheels at the lifted end should be at
least
4
inches
(100
mm)
above the ground. If these
limits must be exceeded, then the rear wheels have to be
supported on a dolly.
