Note
Where all the four wheels
contact
the
ground
while
towing, the vehicle must be
towed from the front. Ensure
the manual transmission vehicle
has engaged the neutral gear, or
the AMT vehicle transmission
has been shifted to "N" gear. The
towing
distance
should
be
within 25km (15 miles) and the
vehicle speed should not exceed
50km/h (30mph).
Make sure to turn the ignition
switch to ACC position and keep
the steering wheel released.
The driver must control the
steering wheel and brake gear in
the vehicle to be towed.
When the vehicle is trapped into snow, slough or other unstable surface, please
escape the vehicle from such situation according to the following procedures.
1. Turn the steering wheel leftward to the end and then turn it rightward to the
end. In this way, a piece of empty land can present around the front wheels.
2. Engage the reverse gear and drive gear repeatedly.
3. Reduce wheel spin as much as possible.
4. Release the throttle pedal upon gear shifting.
5. Step the throttle pedal slightly after gear engagement.
If the vehicle cannot escape from the difficult situation after several times of
attempt, it should be towed. Refer to Tow the vehicle above in this section.
