Precautionary steps to observe when car is in tow
● Steering must be unlocked.
● 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.
● Remember that power brake and power steering assists will not be available when engine is
inoperative. Brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4 times above normal and greater steering effort must
be exerted.
● Gear selector in position N. Check transmission oil level (see section titled "Transmission oil").
● Maximum speed: 20 mph (30 km/h).
● Maximum distance with rear wheels on ground: 20 miles (30 km).
● If the battery is dead, it is not possible to release the gear selector by pressing the brake pedal. Release
the gear selector manually, see page 6:19.
Cars equipped with automatic transmission/three-way catalytic converters cannot be started by pushing
or pulling the car.
CAUTION: The towing eyelets must not be used for pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or any
similar purpose involving severe strain.
Do not attempt to start the car by pushing or pulling it as damage to the three-way catalytic converter
can result.
