■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
● Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from
the rear when the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position or the key is
removed. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the
front wheels straight.

rear when the engine switch is off. The steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
● When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while being towed.
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type truck

■ To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components.
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle when using a flatbed truck
