Towing the vehicle by a tow
truck
CAUTION
 This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-
age the bumper and front end.
 On 4WD vehicles, be sure to shift the trans-
fer shift lever or set the drive mode-selector
to “2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage {Type
C (vehicles with the transfer shift lever), D
or E} as illustrated. Never try to tow with the
transfer shift lever or the drive mode-selector
in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and
with the front or rear wheels on the ground
(Type B or C) as illustrated. This could result
in the driving system damage or vehicle may
jump at the carriage. If you cannot shift the
transfer shift lever or set the drive mode-
selector to “2H” position or the transmission
is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the
vehicle with the all wheels on a carriage
(Type D or E) as illustrated.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC),
if the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground,
the active traction control system may oper-
ate, resulting in an accident.
 On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi-
cle with the driving wheels on a carriage
