Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position ( M/T) or “ON” position
(A/T or CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON (M/T) or ON (A/T or CVT).NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &

Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.WARNINGl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres- sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult than usual.CAUTIONl Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position ( M/T), or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
(A/T or CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-hicle transported by a tow truck.CAUTIONl When the vehicle equipped with
A/T or
CVT is to be towed by another vehicle with
the all wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage to the
transmission.

Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle

5. When finished towing, remove the tow-
ing hook, and stow it in the specified lo- cation.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit”
on page 8-06.
When installing the bumper lid, align the
hook with the cut out area on the vehi-
cle, and firmly insert.NOTEl Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.Operation under adverse
driving conditions E00801702531
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items:
(a)Drive your vehicle at slow
speed. (b)Do not drive on worn tyres. (c)Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pressures.

gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is highly pres- surized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching
a halogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are op-
erated.
