●Vehicles without a 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.
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off. The steering lock
mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
● When raising the vehicle from the rear, 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 from the rear.
