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 the vehicle equipped with A/T or
CVT is to be towed by another vehicle with
the all wheels on the ground, make sure that
the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage 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.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
Only use the rear towing hook as shown in
the illustration.
Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.
Otherwise, the instructions are the same as
for “When being towed by another vehicle”.
NOTE
l
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-
cle body.
l Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.
Operation under adverse
driving conditions
E00801702342
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at slow
speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c)
Always maintain the specified
tyre inflation pressures.
