• Use a towing strap less than 5 m
(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so
the steering wheel isn’t locked.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
• Release the parking bake.
• Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill,
the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.

CAUTION
- Automatic transaxle /
Dual clutch transmission
• If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it
can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the transaxle
is in neutral. Be sure the steer-
ing is unlocked by placing the
ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion. A driver must be in the
towed vehicle to operate the
steering and brakes.
• To avoid serious damage to
the automatic transaxle / dual
clutch transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10
mph) and drive less than 1.5
km (1 mile) when towing.
• Before towing, check the auto-
matic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing
dolly must be used.
