2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.

3. Apply the parking brake. Place the transmission in PARK. Turn the engine OFF.

4. Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.

5. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.

6. Press and hold the brake pedal.

7. Release the parking brake.

CAUTION!

• Towing with the front wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
