CAUTION
Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cables or chains. Always
be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
Do not turn the “POWER” switch off.
This may lead to accidents as the parking lock will be engaged.
If the hybrid system is not operating, the power assist for the brakes and
steering will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
Installing towing eyelet to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelet is installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelet may come loose during towing. This
may lead to accidents that cause death or serious injury.
NOTICE
To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission
Never tow the vehicle from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.
This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
To prevent damaging the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while being towed.
To prevent body damage when towing using a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
