Put the engine switch in ACC mode (engine off) or IG-ON mode (engine

Caution while towing
●
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive stress on
the emergency towing eyelets and the cables or chains.
●
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not
function, making steering and braking more difficult.

Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on the ground.
This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
■
