2. Cover the end of the jack bar (C) with
cloth and use it to remove the lid from
the rear bumper.
3. Use the wheel nut wrench (D) to firmly
attach the towing hook.
4. Always attach the tow rope to the towing
hook. Otherwise, the instructions are the
same as for “When being towed by an-
other vehicle”.
5. When finished towing, remove the tow-
ing hook, and stow it in the specified lo-
cation.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit”
on page 8-06.
When installing the bumper lid, align the
hook with the cut out area on the vehi-
cle, and firmly insert.
NOTE
l
Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.
Operation under adverse
driving conditions

On a flooded road
l
Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
l
When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at slow
speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified
tyre inflation pressures.
