If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the key must be in the ON position,
not the ACC position. Make certain the transaxle remains
in NEUTRAL.
Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
Your vehicle may be towed under the following condi-
tions: The shift lever must be in NEUTRAL, the distance
to be traveled must not exceed 15 mi (25 km), and the
towing speed must not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
Exceeding these towing limits may cause a transaxle
failure. If the transaxle is not operative, or if the vehicle is
to be towed more than 15 mi (25 km), the vehicle must be
transported either with a flat bed truck or with the front
wheels off the ground.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Your vehicle may be towed under the following condi-
tions: The shift lever must be in NEUTRAL, the distance
to be traveled must not exceed 15 mi (25 km), the towing
speed must not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h), and both front
and rear wheels must be on the ground. Exceeding these
towing limits may cause a transaxle failure. If the trans-
axle is not operative, or if the vehicle is to be towed more
than 15 mi (25 km), the vehicle must be transported on a
flat bed truck.
Towing This Vehicle Behind Another Vehicle With
A Tow Dolly
Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
Rear towing is not recommended with the front wheels
on the ground, as transaxle damage can result. If rear
towing is the only alternative, a front end dolly must be
used. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
