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, perform the fol-
lowing operation to unlock the steering wheel.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignition key
to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
On vehicles with CVT, turn the ignition key
to the “ON” position.
[For vehicles with the keyless operation sys-
tem]
On vehicles with M/T, put the operation
mode in ACC or ON.
On vehicles with CVT, put the operation
mode in ON.
NOTE
l
For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate the
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stop-
ping the vehicle.

WARNING
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.
CAUTION
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion or the operation mode in OFF. The
steering wheel will lock, causing loss of
control.
6. Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral” po-
sition (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (CVT).
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.
WARNING
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.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
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.
