Tow at the illustrated point. Using any part other than the designated towing hooks could result in damage to ve- hicle body. The regulations concern-ing towing may differ from country to country. It is recommended that you may obeythe regulations in your area. If your vehicle is to be towed, pay careful attention to the following points.
1. Move the gearshift lever to neutral.
2. Be sure the towing speed is within
the legal limit. 3. On vehicles with steering lock sys-
tem, turn the ignition switch to "ACC"to unlock the steering wheel. If you will be using the turn signals while being towed, turn the ignition switchto "ON" position.
4. To prevent the exhaust gas from
entering the towing vehicle, set theair selection lever on the heater control to the recirculation position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps.
6. During towing, make sure that close contact is maintained between thedrivers of both vehicles, and thatthe vehicles travel at low speed. Avoid abrupt starting or stopping which might subject the vehicles toshock.
7. If the transmission is malfunction-
ing or damaged, tow the vehiclewith the rear wheels raised off the ground.
8. If the vehicle is equipped with a brake booster system, the brakeboosting power will be lost and greater force will be required todepress the brake pedal.

9. If the vehicle is equipped with apower steering system, greater force will be required to operate the steering wheel.
NOTE:
o Your vehicle should only be used to tow another vehicle if the weight of the other vehicle is less than that of your vehicle.
o Before towing, check the level of the automatic transaxle fluid. If itis below the "HOT" range on thedipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used.

!WARNING:
o Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steer- ing and braking performance causing a crash in which youmay be seriously injured.
o For automatic transmission ve-
hicles, the trailer should be towedwith the towing vehicle unloaded, with the exception of the driver. Otherwise, the automatic trans-mission oil temperature may rise to a temperature that may result in serious damage of the auto- matic transmission. C190F02A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can se- riously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting,slow down to get out of the othervehicle’s air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or "R" (manual transmission) or "P" (automatic transmission). In addition, placewheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure thebrakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and anytrailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
