RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow

your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (such as behind a

recreational vehicle).

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not

damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

All Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles:

If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle, you cannot tow

the vehicle with the front drive wheels on the ground. It is recommended

to tow your vehicle with the drive wheels on a dolly or two wheel car

hauling trailer.

In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle (without access

to wheel dollies, car hauling trailer or flatbed transport vehicle) your

vehicle can be flat towed (all wheels on the ground) under the following

conditions:

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 km).

If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transaxle, and in the case of a

roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle (without access to wheel

dollies, car hauling trailer or flatbed transport vehicle) your vehicle can

be flat towed (all wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Maximum distance is unlimited.
