346
■ While towing
If the engine does not run, it means the brake and the steering wheel’s power assistant system are not working,
which makes steering and braking even more difficult.
■
Towing eyelet
Towing eyelets are stored in the vehicle tool box. (See P.358)
CAUTIONS
Please observe the following notes. Otherwise it will lead to serious personal injuries, even death.
■ While towing vehicles
Make sure to transport vehicles when their front wheels or all the four wheels are off the ground.
If towing a vehicle when its front wheels are on the ground, its power train system and related parts might be
damaged.
■
While towing
● When towing with a rope, avoid any sudden start, or it would generate excessive tensile force to the towing
eyelet or rope.
Traction rings or ropes may break. Broken fragments may hit the human body and cause serious injury.
● Do not put the engine switch in “IG-OFF” mode. The steering wheel might be locked and thus unavailable
for any operation.
■
Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure the towing eyelets securely installed.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing. It may cause an accident as a result.
Caution
■ When towing with a wheel-lifting truck, prevent any damage to the vehicle
When lifting the vehicle, make sure the landing end of the vehicle has enough ground clearance for towing.
Otherwise, during towing, the vehicle might be damaged.
■
When towing with a sling-type truck, prevent any damage to the vehicle
Do not use any sling-type truck for towing no matter from the front or rear section of the vehicle.
■ Prevent damage to the vehicle when using a platform truck trailer
● Do not drive over the holding blocks, or it would damage the tires.
● Do not tie the vehicle onto parts (e.g. the suspension) other than tires.
