2WD and 4WD vehicles with manual transaxles: If your 2WD or
4WD vehicle is equipped with a manual transaxle, shifting the transaxle
into neutral (N) permits “flat-towing” (all wheels on the ground) for
pulling behind a motorhome.
Before you tow your vehicle:
• Release the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift to the neutral position.
• Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.
• The maximum recommended speed is 70 mph (112 km/h).
• The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.
• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transaxle components.
