If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to
free it.
Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels.
Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can
cause overheating and transaxle failure. Let
the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the
transaxle before trying again.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for help.
Towing the vehicle by a tow
truck
CAUTION
This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-
age the bumper and front end.
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type B or
Type C) as illustrated. This could result in
the driving system damage or vehicle may
jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use only
Type D or E equipment.
All-wheel-drive vehicles cannot be towed
with only the front or rear tires on the ground
even if it is in “2WD” drive mode.
Do not tow continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheels
on the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If the
vehicle is towed like this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not
reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-
aging it.
If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E
equipment.
If the manual transaxle is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as
illustrated.
[For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with
the active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground
(Type B or C), the ASC may operate, result-
ing in an accident. When towing the vehicle
with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition
switch to “OFF” or “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in OFF or ACC. When
towing the vehicle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode as follows.
