When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire
strapping belts. Refer to the
owner's manual of the flat-bed
truck for the tire strapping
method.
In order to suppress vehicle
movement during transporta-
tion, set the parking brake and
turn the engine switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using
cables or chains secured to the
emergency towing eyelets. This
should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most
50 miles (80 km) at under 18
mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.
For vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission, only the
front towing eyelets may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eye-
let must be installed to your
vehicle. Install the towing eyelet
using the following procedure.

wrench(if equipped) and tow-
ing eyelet. ( P.525, 535)

warning system. Also, if you replace
the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.
■If you have a flat front tire on a
