WARNING
l
When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
CAUTION
l
Do
not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode
in OFF. The steering wheel will lock, caus-
ing loss of control.
3. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required
by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
CAUTION
l
When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l
When the vehicle equipped with CVT is
to be towed by another vehicle with the
all wheels on the ground, make sure that
the towing speed and distance given be-
low are never exceeded, causing damage
to the transmission.
Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle
1. Take
out the towing hook, wheel nut wrench
and jack bar.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit” on
page 6-06.
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 at-
tach 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 another
vehicle”.
5. When finished towing, remove the towing
hook, and stow it in the specified location.
