CAUTION
If your vehicle needs to be towed
when in an accident, do it with the
front wheels raised (front wheel drive

tion motor are on the ground when
towing, the motor may continue to
generate electricity. This may cause
the electricity leakage. Depending on
the severity of the damage, electricity
leakage may cause fire.
