When trouble arises
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 hooks. 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. 
Securely attach cables or 
chains to the towing hooks.
Take care not to damage the vehi- 
cle body.
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position 
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi- 
cles with smart entry & start system). 
Vehicles with Stop & Start system: 
Before towing the vehicle, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position 
(vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system) once, and then start the engine.
4WD models: Turn the front-wheel drive control switch to H2.  
( P. 330)

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type 
truck 
● Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the 
“LOCK” position or the key is removed (vehicles without smart entry & start 
system) or the engine switch is turned to off (vehicles with smart entry &
start system). The steering lock me chanism (if equipped) 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 
Do not tow with a sling-type truck,  either from the front or rear. 
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing 
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components. 
■ When towing a vehicle equipped with a Stop & Start system (if 
equipped) 
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground, perform 
the following procedure before towing the vehicle, in order to protect the 
system. 
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry 
& start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and then 
start the engine or turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles with- 
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart
entry & start system).

activated. 
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles 
without smart entry & start system) or ACCESSORY mode or off 
(vehicles with smart entry & start system). 
Restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or 
when an airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off 
system stops the supply of fuel to the engine.
NOTICE
■ Before starting the engine 
Inspect the ground under the vehicle. 
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been 
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
