In the event your vehicle becomes disabled

under the following conditions:
• The vehicle is facing forward so that it
is towed in a forward direction.
• Shift the transmission into neutral (N).
If you cannot shift the transmission into
neutral (N), you may need to override

damage to the transmission. See
