IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
173 2. Towing with wheel lift type truck

From front
Use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
NOTICE
Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission
from the front with rear wheels on the ground, as this
may cause serious damage to the transmission.

From rear
Place the ignition key in the “ACC” position.
NOTICE
Do not tow with the key removed or in the “LOCK”
position, as the steering lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
1743. Towing with a sling type truck

From front
Follow the instructions for towing from front in “2. Towing with
wheel lift type truck”.

From rear
NOTICE
Do not tow with a sling type truck. This may cause body
damage.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency, your
vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable secured to
one of the eyelets under the front or rear of the vehicle.
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, drive train, steering and brakes must
all be in good condition.
Before towing, release the parking brake and put the
transmission in “N”. The ignition key must be in “ACC” (engine
off) or “ON” (engine 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.
