Emergency Towing
The only approved method is to use a flat-bed tow truck or trailer. Towing the vehicle with two wheels on the ground will
damage parts of the electric powertrain system. If the vehicle is damaged, it must be transported on a flat-bed tow truck
or trailer.
Be aware that when towing or rolling a damaged Acura MDX Sport Hybrid with the front and/or rear wheels on the
ground, the electric motor can produce electricity and remains a potential source of electric shock even when the high-
voltage system is turned off.
The tow hook is stored in the tool kit located in the rear cargo area. To install the tow hook, remove the cap from the
rear bumper using a flat-tip screwdriver. Insert the tow hook, then turn it clockwise until it is snug.
