EMERGENCY TOWING
Location of Towing Hooks
• When towing your vehicle with the towing rope:
1. Securely tie up the towing rope to the towing hooks. Se-
cure the rope to both of the towing hooks under the front
of the vehicle as tight as possible.
2. To make the rope conspicuously visible, bind a white col-
ored cloth on the center of the rope.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the neutral position and re-
lease the parking brake.
4. Switch on the hazard warning flashers of both vehicles.
5. Maintain the towing distance. Apply more force to depress
the brake pedal of the vehicle that will be towed.
6. Set the ignition in the ON position.
7. Total length of the towing and towed vehicle and the tow-
ing rope should be less than 25 meters. And tow the ve-
hicle within 25 km with 5 km/h of the towing speed. The
length of the rope should be less than 5 m.

• If you cannot use a professional towing service, the driver of the
towed vehicle should stay behind the steering wheel. But, never
use this emergency towing when the electrical system, steering
system, or brake system is not operative.
• Ensure that only horizontal tension is applied to the front or rear
towing hook.
• If there are steep hills or sharp turns in your towing path, do not
use this method.
• Depress the brake pedal stronger than normal condition when the
engine is not running.
• When your electrical systems operate properly, turn on the hazard
warning lamps or turn signal lamps according to the towing vehicle’s
signals.
• Avoid overloaded towing and do not tow a heavier vehicle than yours.
• Position the ignition switch to “ACC” or “ON” so that the steering
wheel is not locked.
