 Avoid flooded roads. In the event driving
flooded roads, doing so may cause the fol-
lowing serious damage to the vehicle.
• Engine stalling
• Short in electrical components
• Engine damage caused by water immer-
sion
 When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:

When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use
snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre
chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
 Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
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.
 On 4WD vehicles, when you are going to
tow another vehicle, shift the transfer shift
lever or set the drive mode-selector to “4H”
position.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possible
damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other serious
faults.
NOTE
 Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.
