13-18 Useful advice for emergencies
4. After making sure that there are no air bubbles
in the fuel emerging from the air bleeder plug,
fasten the plug tightly. Operate the priming
pump again until you feel a large resistance
(approx. 60 to 80 times).
5. Wipe thoroughly the spilled fuel and then start
the engine.
6. Check for any fuel leakage.
If you are forced to tow the vehicle, take the follow-
ing precautions:
• Disconnect either the propeller shaft or the rear
axle shaft, whichever is easier. If you disconnect
the rear axle shaft, cover the opening to prevent
oil and grease from escaping.
CAUTION
Before towing an automatic transmission vehi-
cle, disconnect the propeller shaft or rear axle
shaft. Alternatively, tow the vehicle with its rear
wheels off the ground. Towing the vehicle with-
out taking these precautions would damage the
automatic transmission.
• Before raising the front wheels for towing,
remove the bumper and air scoop to prevent
them from damaging.
• Attach the towing chain securely to the front
axle.
CAUTION
• Do not attach the chain to the bumper since
the bumper would be damaged upon raising
the front wheels or towing.
• Before raising the front wheels or towing,
confirm that the chain will not damage any
parts of the vehicle. Remove the parts that
may be damaged.
• Tow the vehicle only with a specially
designed towing truck.
• If you disconnect the rear axle shaft to tow
the vehicle, the axle housing gear oil may be
depleted. Check the axle housing gear oil
and add more if necessary. P. 12-26
