sure safe transportation.
1. Shift the selector lever into the “P” po-
sition.
2. Press the parking brake pedal firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
y Do not use the towing hook ex-
cept when towing your vehicle.
y Be sure to remove the towing
hook after towing. Leaving the
towing hook mounted on the vehi-
cle could interfere with proper op-
eration of the SRS airbag system
in a frontal collision.

downward anchoring. If they are
