NOTICE
To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission when towing using a
wheel-lift type truck
Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on the ground.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear with the power switch off. The steering
lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
When raising the vehicle from the rear, 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 from the rear.
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 damage to the vehicle
Do not use the rear tie down hooks when your vehicle is towed.

CAUTION
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 shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the transmission and other components
Avoid spinning the rear 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.
