shown in illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-cle body.NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.

zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.

mode in “ON” without starting the Plugin
Hybrid EV System, the auxiliary battery may be fully discharged during towing. In
this case, the brake performance becomes very poor and the steering wheel becomes
very heavy.CAUTIONl For vehicle equipped with the Adaptive
Cruise Control system (ACC) and Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stopthese systems to prevent an unexpected acci-
dent or unexpected operation during towing. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control system
(ACC)” on page 7-52 and “Forward Colli-
