for the brakes and steering will not function,
making steering and braking more difficult.
Q If the cables or chains touch the bumper
If the cables or chains touch the bumper
due to the angle at which the cables or
chains are hanging, remove the cover (if
equipped) on the bumper.
• Remove the bolt, pull the cover toward

Emergency towing procedure
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Q While towing
O When towing using cables or chains,
avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing hook,
cables or chains. The towing hook,
cables or chains may become dam-
aged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.
O Make sure to turn off the AHC. Other-
wise, the vehicle height may change
and part of your body may be caught
under the vehicle, possibly causing
injury. (oP.412)
O Do not turn the engine switch off.
There is a possibility that the steering
wheel is locked and cannot be oper-
ated.
NOTICE
Q To prevent damage to the vehicle
during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
