The regulations concerning towing may differ from
country
to country. It is recommended that you
obey the regulations of the area where you are driv-
ing your vehicle. Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION
l
This
vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper
and front end.
l If the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the vehicle with the
driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated.
l [For vehicles equipped with the Active sta-
bility control (ASC) system]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
key in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent.
l If you tow an A/T vehicle with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustra-
ted, make sure that the towing speed and
distance given below are never exceeded,
causing damage to the transmission.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 30 km (19 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations. Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place

the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T). Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a
straight ahead position with a rope or tie-down
strap. Never place the ignition key in the “LOCK”
position when towing. CAUTION
l
Never
tow an A/T vehicle with the rear
wheels up (and the front wheels on the
ground) when the automatic transmission
fluid level is low. This may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transmission.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)
Release the parking brake.
Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T).
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut wrenchand jack bar. (Refer to “Tools and jack” on
page 6-06.) For emergencies

2. Cover the tip of the jack bar with a cloth,
then use it to remove the cover (A) that is lo-
cated on the front bumper. 3. Use
the wheel nut wrench (B) to securely
mount the towing hook (C). 4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook. CAUTION
l
Do
not tow the vehicle with the rope at an
excessive diagonal angle.
NOTE l To

avoid deforming or otherwise damaging
the vehicle body when hooking the rope onto
the towing hook, observe the following in-
structions: • Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of thevehicle other than the towing hook.
• Do not drive in a way that subjects the towing hook to significant physical shock.
5. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel. CAUTION
l
When
the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion or do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while driving.
The steering wheel will lock, causing loss
of control. 6. Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (A/T).
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
8. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed. WARNING
l To
prevent entry of exhaust gas from the
towing vehicle, set your air selection
switch to the recirculation position. CAUTION
l
The
person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck. For emergencies

CAUTION
l
When the vehicle with A/T is towed by an-
other vehicle with the all wheels on the
ground, make sure that the towing speed
and distance given below are never excee-
ded, in order to avoid damage to the trans-
mission.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)

The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly, and
may
be damaged if overheated. The following
points should be noted in order to prevent the igni-
tion of unburned petrol within the catalytic convert-
er.
l Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY of the
type recommended in “Fuel selection” on
page 02.
l Do not drive with an extremely low fuel lev-
el; running out of fuel could cause damage to
the catalytic converter.
l Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle. If the battery is weak or dis-
charged, use another battery to start the en-
gine.
l Do not idle the engine with any spark plug
wires disconnected or removed such as per-
forming diagnostic tests.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged periods
during very rough idle or malfunctioning op-
erating conditions.
l Do not race the engine when turning off the
ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic
converter to be damaged due to contact with
unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the per-
formance is noticeably low, or if the engine
has a malfunction such as with the ignition,
etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving immediate-
ly, reduce the speed and drive for only a
short time. We recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible. l
In unusual situations involving grossly mal-
functioning engine operation, a burnt smell
may indicate severe and abnormal catalyst
overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stopped
in a safe place, the engine switched off and
the vehicle allowed to cool. Once the engine
is cool, a service, including a tune-up to man-
ufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained
immediately. Bonnet
