WARNING!
· Remember that the power brakes and power steering will not function when engine is not running.
The braking system will function but the brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4 times above normal
and greater steering effort must be exerted.
· The towing eyelets must not be used for pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or for any similar
purpose involving severe strain.
· Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the car up onto a flat bed tow truck.
CAUTION:
· Please check with state and local authorities before attempting this type of towing, as vehicles being
towed are subject to regulations regarding maximum towing speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.
· If the car's battery is dead, the engine must be jump started using an auxiliary battery (see page 80). Do
not attempt to start the car by pushing or pulling it as this will damage the three-way catalytic converter
(s).
· If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the
flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.
