Towing Description

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.

-
When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION:

Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.
