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 On 4WD vehicles, be sure to shift the trans-
fer shift lever to “2H” position and trans-
port the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustra-
ted. Never try to tow with the transfer
shift lever in “4H” or “4L” position (easy
select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” po-
sition (super select 4WD) and with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type
B or C) as illustrated. This could result in
driving system damage or the vehicle
may jump at the carriage. If you cannot
shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position or the transmission is malfunc-
tioning or damaged, transport the vehicle
with all wheels on a carriage (Type D or
E) as illustrated.
l If your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and on-
ly the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, the active
Traction Control System may operate, re-
sulting in an accident.
l On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is
malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with the driving wheels on a
carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. CAUTION
l
If
you tow a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given
below are never exceeded, causing dam-
age to the transmission.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (30 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (manual transmission) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion).

l
Never
tow an automatic transmission ve-
hicle with the front wheels up (and the
rear wheels on the ground) (Type B)
when the automatic transmission fluid lev-
el is low. This may cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the transmission. For emergencies
