Towing
Follow the towing instructions
Follow all towing instructions; otherwise, vehicle damage or accidents may occur.
▷ Make sure that the ignition is switched on; otherwise, the low beams, tail lamps, turn signals, and windshield wipers may be unavailable.
▷ Do not tow the vehicle with the rear axle tilted, as the front wheels could turn.
▷ When the engine is stopped, there is no power assist. Consequently, more force needs to be applied when braking and steering.
▷ Larger steering wheel movements are required.
