CAUTION
!
Use extreme caution when towing
vehicles. Avoid sudden starts or
erratic driving maneuvers which
would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and towing
cable or chain. The hook and towing
cable or chain may break and cause
serious injury or damage.
NOTICE
Use only a cable or chain specific-
ally intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable
or chain to the towing eyelet
provided.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral
(manual) or “N” (automatic)And transfer in
“H2” (four-wheel drive models). The key
must be in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (en-
gine running).
CAUTION
!
If the engine is not running, the
power assist for the brakes and
steering will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual.
Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged and
that the installation bolts are not loose.
Fasten the towing cable or chain se-
curely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.
