Towing
Emergency towing precautions
䳜 Turn the ignition switch or the
ENGINE START/STOP button to
the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
䳜 Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
䳜 Release the parking bake.
䳜 The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) or less
within the distance of 20 km (12
miles).
䳜 Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
䳜 More steering effort will be
required because the power
steering system will be disabled.
䳜 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.
Automatic transmission / Dual
clutch transmission
䳜 If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi
-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
䳜 To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission / dual
clutch transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10
mph) and drive less than 1.5 km
(1 mile) when towing.
䳜 Before towing, check the auto
-
matic transmission / dual clutch
transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic
transmission / dual clutch trans
-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.
