2. Cover the tip of the jack bar with a cloth,
then use it to remove the cover (A) that is lo-
cated on the front bumper.
3. Use the wheel nut wrench (B) to securely
mount the towing hook (C).
4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
CAUTION
l Do not tow the vehicle with the rope at an
excessive diagonal angle.
NOTE
l
To avoid deforming or otherwise damaging
the vehicle body when hooking the rope onto
the towing hook, observe the following in-
structions:
• Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of the
vehicle other than the towing hook.
• Ensure that the tow rope is taut when the
towing vehicle moves away.
5. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position (M/T)
to unlock the steering wheel.
CAUTION
l On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, have
the vehicletransported by a tow truck
with all of the wheelsraised off the
ground if the engine does not start.
If the vehicle is towed without starting
the engine, the Twin Clutch SST may be
damaged because the fluid will not reach
all parts of the transmission.
Refer to “If your vehicle needs to be tow-
ed” on page 6-17.
CAUTION
l When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” position. The steering wheel
will be locked, causing loss of control.
6. Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral” po-
sition (M/T) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion (Twin Clutch SST).
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required
by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
8. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.
CAUTION
l The person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
