4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTE
●
To avoid deforming or otherwise damaging the vehicle
body when hooking the rope onto the towing hook,
observe the following instructions:
• Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of the vehicle other
than the towing hook.
• Do not drive in a way that subjects the towing hook to
significant physical shock.
5. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” or “ON” position to unlock the steering wheel.
6. Place the gearshift lever (manual transmission) or the
allshift lever (automated manual transmission) in the “N”
(Neutral) position.
With a vehicle that has an automated manual transmis-
sion, confirm that the transmission is in the “N” (Neutral)
position by checking that “N” is shown by the allshift
indicator display and by pushing the vehicle.
If, with a vehicle that has an automated manual transmis-
sion, the engine will not start and the transmission is not
in the “N” (Neutral) position, press the brake pedal, turn
the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and move the
allshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position.
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regulations.)
CAUTION
!
●
Do not tow the vehicle with the rope at an excessive
diagonal angle.
CAUTION
!
●
When the engine is not running, the brake booster
and power steering do not operate. This means
higher brake depression force and higher steering
effort are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
more difficult than usual.
●
Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” position. The
steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.
