CAUTION
l

tive Stability Control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition

mode in ACC.
When towing the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or

[Except for vehicles equipped with key-
less operation system]
The ignition switch is in “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.

ing wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope

Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. The front towing hook (A) is located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow rope
to the front towing hook.
NOTE
l
Do
not use the tie-down hooks (B) for tow-
ing. These hooks are provided only for the
purpose of transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hook (A) could result in damage to vehi-
cle body.
l
Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l
Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the fol-
lowing operation to unlock the steering wheel.
[Except for vehicles with keyless operation
system]
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position (M/T) or “ON” position
(CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation sys-
tem]
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON (M/T)
or ON (CVT).
