Question:

First, thank you for your time and knowledge. I spoke to you this morning about flat towing and what I needed. I have found the car above except it has a push button start. Can I unlock the steering in order to tow without having an ignition key? Thank you in advance 2017 Honda Fit EX manual

Unlocking the steering wheel of a vehicle that has a push button start is actually really easy. All you have to do is press the start button without having your foot on the gas pedal. This puts the vehicle ignition into ACC mode which unlocks the steering wheel.

I attached a couple links to this page that will take you to help articles on flat towing for you to check out as well.
