Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all four wheels raised off the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the tires contacting the ground, the drivetrain or related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec- tricity generated by the operation of the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam- age or malfunction.

●When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress on the
towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-
ken debris may hit people, and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the power switch off.There is a possibility that the steer-ing wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.

Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
