CAUTION
!
● This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.
● Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as
illustrated. This could result in the driving system
damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use only Type D
or E equipment.
All-wheel-drive vehicles cannot be towed with only
the front or rear tires on the ground even if it is in
“2WD” drive mode.
● Do not tow continuously variable transmission
(CVT) vehicles with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated. If the vehicle is
towed like this, the continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the
transmission, thus damaging it.
If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equip-
ment.
● If the manual transaxle is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
● [For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with the
active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position or the operation mode in ON and
only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised
off the ground (Type B or C), the ASC may operate,
resulting in an accident. When towing the vehicle
with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch
to “OFF” or “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in OFF or ACC. When towing the vehicle with
the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or
the operation mode as follows.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
