What to do in an emergency
6
•Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the automat ic transaxle for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic
transaxle fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
•Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
•Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
•Limit the vehicle speed to
15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less
than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing to
avoid serious damage to the auto
matic transaxle.
