operating) mode.
CAUTION

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When transporting the vehicle
■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 eyelets and the cables or chains. Always be cautious of the
surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
●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 eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.

Be sure to transport the vehicle with the rear
wheels raised or with all four wheels raised
off the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the
rear wheels contacting the ground, the driv-
etrain and related parts may be damaged or
the motor may generate electricity. If the
motor generates electricity, depending on
the state of the damage or malfunction, a fire
may occur due to a short circuit.
