When emergently towing your vehi-
cle without a wheel dolly:
1.Set the Engine Start/Stop Button inthe ACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake. When the ECS malfunction indica-
tor illuminates with no air in the
suspension, the vehicle height is
very low. Thus, do not drive the
vehicle to protect it from any pro-
jections on the ground. Tow your
vehicle to an authorized EQUUS
dealer and have the system
checked. You should tow the vehi-
cle as shown in the illustration.
When loading the vehicle onto the
tow truck, the loading slope angle (1)
should be less than 6°.

Use a towing strap, which is 16 feet(5 m) or shorter. Tie a white or red
cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
the better visibility.
Drive carefully not to loosen the towing strap, while towing.
Information
Emergency towing is illegal in some
states. Contact an authorized EQUUS
dealer and tow the vehicle.
Emergency towing precautions
Set the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with extraforce, because the brake perform-
ance may be reduced.
Put extra force into the steering wheel operation, because the
power steering system may be dis-
abled.
Driving down a long slope may overheat the brakes, reducing the
brake performance. Stop driving at
intervals and cool off the brake
system. - Automatic transmission
When the car is towed, dragging
all four wheels on the ground, it
should be done only in a forward
direction. Be sure to set the shift
lever in N(Neutral). Unlock the
steering wheel by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
ACC position. A driver must be
in the towed vehicle to operate
both the steering wheel and
brakes.
To avoid a serious damage to the automatic transmission
while towing, limit the vehicle
speed to 10 mph (15 km/h) and
drive shorter than 1 mile (1.5
km).
Before towing, check any fluid lick of the automatic transmis-
sion. When it leaks, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
