switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
On vehicles with A/T or CVT, turn the

vate the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
before stopping the vehicle.

WARNING
l When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.
CAUTION
l
Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
l
For vehicle equipped with the Adaptive
Cruise Control System (ACC) and Forward
Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stop
these systems to prevent an unexpected acci-
dent or unexpected operation during towing.
Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control System
(ACC)” on page 6-78 and “Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation system (FCM)” on page
6-91.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral”
position (M/T), or the selector lever in
the “N” (Neutral) position (A/T or
CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.
WARNING
l
Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving
operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow
truck.
CAUTION
l The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow-
ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
l When a vehicle equipped with A/T or CVT
is to be towed by another vehicle with all the
wheels on the ground, make sure that the
towing speed and distance given below are
never exceeded, since this may cause dam-
age to the transmission.
Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-
ulations.
