Hi everyone,
I have a manual Protege 2003 and I am a bit confused when it comes to EOC. I read the owner's manual and it says the vehicle cannot be flat-towed (does not say if it applies to both manual and auto transaxles). In the towing section it even says: "Never push-start a vehicle that has a manual transaxle. It can damage the emission control system."

Basically I'd like to know, is it ok for me to EOC? to push-start? Do other Protege owners have any advice for me?

Thanks
