WARNING: Make sure the remote control is in the original slot when the vehicle is towed. Removing the remote control from the slot will cause the steering column lock to become locked, preventing proper vehicle control.
If the engine does not work while the vehicle is being towed, the power steering and brake booster will not work. As a result, you will have to apply increased force to the steering or to brake, which will significantly increase the braking distance.
CAUTION: The vehicle should only be towed with all four wheels on the ground. Towing with two wheels on the ground will cause serious damage to the transmission.
The vehicle may be towed for a distance of no more than 80 km at a speed of no more than 80 km/h. Towing for a longer distance or at a higher speed may cause serious damage to the gearbox.
NOTE: The recommended method of recovery is by trailer or tow truck.
Attach the towing hitch of the tow truck to the front towing eye of the vehicle being towed.
Insert the remote control into the launch control module and turn on the ignition by pressing the start/stop button once.
NOTE: Leaving the ignition on for an extended period will drain the battery.
Press the brake pedal and move the selector lever to the "N" position. Without releasing the brake pedal, release the parking brake. If the selector is not supplied with power, the emergency release lever on the selector can be used to release the locking solenoid.
The vehicle may be towed for a distance of no more than 80 km at a speed of no more than 80 km/h.
Stop the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to position "P".
Turn off the ignition and remove the remote control from the socket.
CAUTION: The vehicle must not be towed in reverse.
