Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When transporting the vehicle
While towing
When towing using a rope, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive
stress on the towing hook and rope.
The towing hook or rope may become damaged, broken debris may hit people
and cause serious damage.
Do not turn the power switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the front wheels will be locked by the parking
lock.
Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to 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 with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
Be sure to transport the vehicle with the
front wheels raised or with all four wheels
raised off the ground. If the vehicle is
towed with the front wheels contacting the
ground, the drivetrain and related parts
may be damaged or electricity generated
by the operation of the motor may cause a
fire to occur depending on the nature of the
damage or malfunction.

After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision or
sudden braking.
When stowing the flat tire
Make sure the rear seatbacks are in their original position.
Secure it using a tire tie-down belt. Otherwise, the flat tire may fly out in case
of sudden braking or an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

mance.

When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use
extreme caution.
When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the
vehicle to accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components
Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than
necessary.
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the
vehicle may require towing to be freed.
