When your vehicle is being
towed by another vehicle
other than a tow truck (in case
of an emergency)
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so
the steering wheel isn’t locked.
• Place the transmission shift lever in
N (Neutral).
• Release the parking bake.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Remove the propeller shaft if it is
necessary to exceed 50km/h (31
mph) and/or 25km (16 miles). If the
drive shaft cannot be removed, stop
every 25km (16 miles) and start the
engine. Allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes. This will ensure that
the transmission is sufficiently lubri-
cated.
• 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.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
To prevent internal damage to the
transmission, never tow your vehicle
from the rear (backwards) with all
four tyres in contact with the sur-
face.
Tips for towing a stuck vehicle
The following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud,
sand or similar substances that pre-
vent the vehicle from being driven
out under its own power.
• Remove the soil and sand, etc.
from the front and the back of the
tyres.
• Place a stone or wood under the
tyres.
