WARNING
Emergency Towing Precautions
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.

Emergency towing precautions
1. While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position
and turn the vehicle off. The
POWER button will be in the ACC
position.
2. Release the parking bake.
3. Press the brake pedal with more
for
c
e than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
4. More steering effort will be
r
e
quired because the power
steering system will be disabled.
5. If you are driving down a long hill,
the
brakes may overheat and
brake performance will be
reduced. Stop often and let the
brakes cool off.
6. If the car is being towed with all
four whee
l
s on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the reduction gear is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the POWER
button in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi

cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
