Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral (manu-
al) or “N” (automatic). The key must be
in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine run-
ning).
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
1. Remove the towing eyelet cover on the
bumper, using a flat−bladed screwdriver
which is wrapped with a cloth.
2. Use the towing eyelet in the tool bag.
Secure it to the hole on the bumper by
turning clockwise. (For the tool bag
storage location, see “—Required tools
and spare tire” on page 151.)
