If towing service is not available in an emer-
gency, your vehicle may be temporarily
towed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another
vehicle or if your vehicle tows another vehi-
cle, pay careful attention to the following
points.
1. The front towing hook (A) is located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
 If you tow the vehicles with A/T with the
driving wheels on the ground (Type B) as
illustrated, make sure that the towing speed
and distance given below are never
exceeded, causing damage to the transmis-
sion.
Towing speed:
19 mph
Towing distance:
50 miles
For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and regu-
lations.
Towing with front wheels off the
ground (Type B)
CAUTION
 Never tow an A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the
ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid level is
low. This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Emergency towing
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
CAUTION
 Do not use the tie-down hook (B) for towing.
This hook is provided only for the purpose of
transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook (A) could result in damage to
vehicle body.
NOTE
 Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
 Use care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
 Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
