Mitsubishi COLT User Manual

CAUTION
l
If your vehicle has an automated manual
transmission, place the allshift lever in
the “N” (Neutral) position before stop-
ping the engine.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. Take out the towing hook and wheel nut
wrench (if so equipped). (Refer to “Tools
jack and tyre repair kit” on page 6-06.)
2. Press by hand the side of the cover (A) that
has a “ ” mark, then remove the cover.
3. Use the wheel nut wrench (B) to securely
mount the towing hook (C).
If your vehicle does not have a wheel nut
wrench, securely tighten the towing hook (C)
by hand.
4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
CAUTION
l
Do not tow the vehicle with the rope at an
excessive diagonal angle.
NOTE
l
To avoid deforming or otherwise damaging
the vehicle body when hooking the rope onto
the towing hook, observe the following in-
structions:
• Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of the
vehicle other than the towing hook.
• Do not drive in a way that subjects the
towing hook to significant physical shock.
5. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel.
CAUTION
l
When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering do not
operate. This means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
more difficult than usual.
l
Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
6. Place the gearshift lever (manual transmis-
sion) or the allshift lever (automated manual
transmission) in the “N” (Neutral) position.
With a vehicle that has an automated manual
transmission, confirm that the transmission is
in the “N” (Neutral) position by checking
that “N” is shown by the allshift indicator dis-
play and by pushing the vehicle.
If, with a vehicle that has an automated man-
ual transmission, the engine will not start and
the transmission is not in the “N” (Neutral)
position, press the brake pedal, turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON” position, and move
the allshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position.
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required
by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
8. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.
