CAUTION
For an automatic transmission vehicle, be
sure to always use a towing dolly.
Emergency towing
CAUTION
• Do not tow an automatic transmission
vehicle in this manner.
• Do not tow the vehicle in this manner
unless the wheels, axles, drive train,
steering, or brakes are in good
condition.
Attach a sturdy rope, towing strap or cable
to the towing hook.
A driver must ride in the vehicle being towed
and control it.
Release the parking brake and shift the
transmission lever to neutral.
Set the ignition to “ACC”.
w WARNING
• When the engine is not running,
the brake booster does not operate.
Therefore, braking will require more
force than usual.
• For safety reasons, do not use a
towing hook unless your vehicle
is towed on hard-surfaced roads.
• The ignition key of the vehicle being
towed should not be pulled out or
be set to “LOCK” or “OFF”. The
towed vehicle could lose turning
ability and cause an accident.
CAUTION
• Always pull the hook straight-ahead
to prevent it from being damaged. Do
not pull it from the side or in a vertical
direction. Also, do not pull it sharply.
• If you attach a rope or a cable to the
axle or any other place, it may damage
the components.
• Check that the hook is installed
securely.
