For emergencies

●
Using a wire rope or metal chain can result in damage to
the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If
you use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at
any point where it touches the vehicle body.
●
Ensure that the tow rope is kept as horizontal as possible.
An angled tow rope can damage the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to the
“ACC” or “ON” position to unlock the steering wheel.
3. Place the gearshift lever into the “N” (Neutral) position
(M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion (A/T or CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regulations)
5. During towing, ensure the drivers of both vehicles main-
tain close contact and the vehicles travel at low speeds.
WARNING
!
●
When the engine is not running, the brake booster
and power steering pump do not operate. This
means that a greater brake pedal depression force
and greater steering effort are required. Vehicle
operation is therefore more difficult than usual.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch while driving. The steering wheel will lock,
causing loss of control.
