Using a flat-bed truck
This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Use the following procedures to ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” position for AT models. Shift the shift lever into the “1st” position for MT models.
2. Pull up the parking brake lever firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier properly with safety chains. Each safety chain should be equally tightened and care must be taken not to pull the chains so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
If your vehicle has a front underspoiler and rear underspoiler (both optional), be careful not to scrape them when placing the vehicle on the carrier and when removing the vehicle from the carrier.
