When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1.Set the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake.
Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transmission.

•Do not tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground
as this may cause damage to
the vehicle.
•Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.

If equipped with rollover sensor:
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
Engine Start/Stop button to OFF
or ACC position when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may
deploy when the engine is ON,
and the rollover sensor detects
the situation as a rollover.

What to do in an emergency
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
• Place the Engine Start/Stop button
in the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
• Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
• More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.
• Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.• Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
• Before towing, check the automat-
ic transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.

To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
•Always pull straight ahead
when using the towing hooks.
Do not pull from the side or at
a vertical angle.
•Do not use the towing hooks
to pull a vehicle out of mud,
sand or other conditions from
which the vehicle cannot be
driven out under its own
power.
•Limit the vehicle speed to
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive
less than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the automatic trans-
mission.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle is equipped with emer-
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol-
low these steps carefully.
1.Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentally
pressed.
2.Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
3.Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)
away from the fire and squeeze the
handle to discharge the extinguish-
er. If you release the handle, the
discharge will stop.
4.Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.

Tyre pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tyres normally lose some air in day-
to-day use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not
a sign of a leaking tyre, but of normal
wear. Always check tyre pressure
when the tyres are cold because tyre
pressure increases with tempera-
ture.To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1.Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2.Press and hold the gauge against
the tyre valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don't press the gauge in firmly.
3.A firm non-leaking push will acti-
vate the gauge.
4.Read the tyre pressure on the
gauge to see whether the tyre
pressure is low or high.
5.Adjust the tyre pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres
and Wheels” in chapter 8.
6.Reinstall the inflation valve cap.
