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 cable or chain. Always be
cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
Except hybrid vehicle (vehicles without a smart entry & start system): Do
not turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
Except hybrid vehicle (vehicles with a smart entry & start system): Do not
turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
Doing so will lock the steering wheel and prevent operation, possibly caus-
ing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury.
Hybrid vehicle (vehicles without an electronic key): Do not turn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Hybrid vehicle (vehicles with an electronic key): Do not turn the “POWER”
switch off.
This may lead to accidents because the steering wheel will be locked and
you will not be able to operate the steering wheel.
Except hybrid vehicle: If the engine is not running, the power assist for the
brakes and steering will not function, making steering and braking more
difficult.
Hybrid vehicle: If the hybrid system is off, 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 serious injury or even death.

NOTICE
To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission when towing
using a wheel-lift type truck (vehicles with a hybrid transmission or a
Multidrive)
Never tow this vehicle from the rear with the front wheels on the ground.
To prevent causing serious damage to the Stop & Start system when
towing (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
Never tow this vehicle with four wheels on the ground. Use a flatbed truck, or
lift up front or rear of the vehicle by using a wheel-lift type truck.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck (vehicles with a hybrid transmission or a Multidrive)
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 damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck (vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission or a manual
transmission)
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from
the rear when the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position or the key is
removed. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the
front wheels straight.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off. The steering lock
mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
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 with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission in emergency
towing
Never tow a vehicle from the rear with four wheels on the ground. This may
cause serious damage to the transmission.
