Towing eyelet
n Emergency towing procedure
Release the parking brake.
Put the shift lever in “N”.
The engine switch must be in the “ACC” mode (engine off) or the “IG-
ON” mode (engine on).

l Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive stress on
the emergency towing eyelet and the cable or chain.
l If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not
function, making steering and braking more difficult.
n To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission
Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on the ground.
This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
