tion (manual transmission) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion). Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position
and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead po-
sition with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position when
towing.
Emergency towing

your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable
or chain secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle 1.The front towing hooks (A) and rear towing
hook (B) are located as shown in the illustra-
tion. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.

Front (2WD vehicles with 15 inch wheels)Front (2WD vehicles with 16 inch wheels and
4WD vehicles)Rear*
NOTE
l Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hooks could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. 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.CAUTIONl 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. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selec-
tor lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (au-
tomatic transmission).
4. On 4WD vehicles, the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.

For ordinary use, there are no particular precautions.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the
catalytic converter are extremely efficient for the re-
duction of noxious gases. The catalytic converter is
installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly tuned to
ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possi-
ble catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can re-
sult if your vehicle is not kept in proper
operating condition. In the event of an en-
gine malfunction particularly involving
engine misfire or other apparent loss of
performance, have your vehicle serviced
promptly.
Continued operation of your vehicle with
a severe overheated condition may result
in possible damage to the converter and
vehicle.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.
