What to do in an emergency
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
• Place the ignition switch 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 as you will have
reduced braking performance.
• 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 dual clutch transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the dual
clutch transmission 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 dual clutch trans-
mission.
