Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, or a Euro
Twin Clutch transmission, may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) at any legal highway speed,
for any distance, if the transmission is in NEUTRAL.
To place the Euro Twin Clutch transmission in NEU-
TRAL, follow the procedure below:
1. Turn the key to the ON/RUN position, without start-
ing the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal and shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position. The key will remain
in the ignition switch (it cannot be removed, since the
transmission is not in PARK). Leave the key in the OFF
position while being towed.
4. Release the brake pedal only when the parking brake
is applied, or the vehicle is securely connected to a tow
vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with a
conventional automatic transmission. Damage to
the drivetrain will result. If these vehicles require
towing, make sure all drive wheels are OFF the
ground.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above re-
quirements can cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered un-
der the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
