four minutes.

9. Try to start the vehicle that had

covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the

not touch each other or other
metal.

Caution

Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Do not lash or hook to
suspension components. Use the
proper straps around the tires to
secure the vehicle.

Have the vehicle towed on a wheel
lift tow truck. A flatbed car carrier
could damage the vehicle. The
wheel lift tow truck must raise the
rear of the vehicle and wheel dollies
must be used to lift the front wheels
off the ground.

Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
