5-1. Essential information
■ While towing
● When towing using a rope, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress
on the towing hook and rope.
The towing hook or rope may become damaged, broken debris may hit people
and cause serious damage.
● Do not turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
There is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and can not be operated.
■ Installing towing eyelet to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelet is installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelet may come loose during towing.
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at the
opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the vehicle could
be damaged while being towed.
■ To prevent body damage when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
■ Recreational towing (behind motor home, etc.)
Never dinghy tow your vehicle to prevent
causing serious damage to the Active Torque
Control 4WD system (AWD models) and
transmission. (P. 323)
