CAUTION:

Never tow CVT models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the front wheels.
