lar to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, une- ven, or waving are in the detection
range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in
front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a

or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair

■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain and related parts may be damaged.
NOTICE
■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 mecha-
nism is not strong enough to hold
the front wheels straight.
●Vehicles with smart entry & start
system: Do not tow the vehicle from the 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 tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to
prevent body damage.

When trouble arises
strapping belts.
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 80 km (50 miles) at
under 30 km/h (18 mph).
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 Multidrive, only
the front towing eyelet may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench
(if equipped) and towing eyelet.
( P.484, 499)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag
between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration.
3 Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by
hand.
4 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut
wrench or hard metal bar.
NOTICE
■Using a flatbed truck
Do not overly tighten the tie downs or the vehicle may be damaged.

assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and brak- ing more difficult.

Vehicles with wheel nut wrench: Wheel
nut wrench is installed in trunk. ( P.482, 498)
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on the
towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eyelets, cables or
chains may become damaged, bro-
ken debris may hit people, and cause serious damage.
●Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Do not tu rn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position.
There is a possibility that the steer-
ing wheel is locked and cannot be operated.
●Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Do not turn the engine
switch off.
There is a possibility that the steer- ing wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eye-
lets may come loose during towing.

■Using the tire jack
Observe the following precautions.
Improper use of the tire jack may
cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the jack, leading to death or serious
injury.
●Do not use the tire jack for any pur-
pose other than replacing tires or
installing and removing tire chains.
●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat
tire. Do not use it on other vehicles,
and do not use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle.

■When attempting to free a stuck
vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure
the surrounding area is clear to avoid
striking other vehicl es, objects or peo- ple. The vehicle may also lunge for-
ward or lunge back suddenly as it
becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
(vehicles with a Multidrive)
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid
acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmis-
sion and other components
●Avoid spinning the front wheels and
depressing the accelerator pedal more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are per-
formed, the vehicle may require
towing to be freed.
