Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer-
gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-
ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
NOTE
l
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook 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 hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
l
Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.
[Except for vehicles with keyless opera-
tion system]
On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
On vehicles with CVT, turn the ignition
switch to the “ON” position.
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]
On vehicles with M/T, put the operation
mode in ACC or ON.
On vehicles with CVT, put the operation
mode in ON.
NOTE
l
As your vehicle is equipped with the Auto
Stop & Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto
Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deacti-
vate the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-28.
WARNING
l
When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.
