Steering wheel height adjustment
EG09A-Ci

the tilt lock lever while holding the steer-
ing wheel by hand, and raise or lower the
steering wheel to the desired height.
After adjustment, securely lock the lever by
pulling it upward.
1- Locked
2- Release
WARNING
(1) After adjusting to the desired
height, check to be sure that the
lever is locked.
(2) Do not attempt to adjust the
steering wheel while you are
driving the vehicle.
(3) When releasing the tilt lock lever,
move it to the release position
(2) and hold the steering wheel
by hand to prevent it falling to
the lowest position.
Power steering system
EC13A-AH
When the engine is stopped, the power
steering system will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind in par-
ticular when towing the vehicle. Never turn
off the engine while driving.
Periodically check the power steering fluid
level.
CAUTION
Do not hold the steering wheel in the
fully turned position (either left or
right), for longer than 10 seconds.
This can cause damage to the power
steering pump due to reduced lubri-
cation.

RearIf your vehicle is to be towed, pay care-
ful attention to the following points:
(1) For vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission, check the automatic transmis-
sion fluid level. (Refer to“Automatic
transmission fluid”on page 9-4)
If the fluid level is low, transport the
vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is out of automatic
transmission fluid, the transmis-
sion could be damaged.
(2) Move the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) to the
“Neutral”or“N”(NEUTRAL).(3) Move the transfer shift lever to“2H”
position.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed with the trans-
fer shift lever in“4H”or“4L”posi-
tion (part time 4WD models)“4H”,
“4HLc”or“4LLc”position (super
select 4WD II models) the drive
mechanism may be dameged.
(4) Be sure the towing speed is within the
legal limit. In addition, if the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion, make sure that the towing speed
and distance given below are never
exceeded.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
(5) If the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, or if the vehicle is equipped
with an automatic transmission and
must be towed farther than 50km (31
miles), tow the vehicle by a tow truck.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“ON”position to unlock the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
(1) As the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steer-
ing pump do not operate. This
means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering
effort are required. Therefore,
vehicle operation is more diffi-
cult than usual.
(2) Do not leave the key in the
“LOCK”position. If the key is
removed while driving, the steer-
ing will be locked causing loss
of control.

WARNING
(1) Take care in handling brake fluid
as it is harmful to the eyes and
may also cause damage to
painted surfaces. If fluid is
spilled, wipe it up as soon as
possible.
(2) Use only the specified brake
fluid.
Also, the additives in different
brands may result in a chemi-
cal reaction when mixed
together, so avoid mixing differ-
ent brands if possible.
(3) Normally, keep the reservoir tank
cap closed to prevent the brake
fluid from deteriorating.
