6-23
What to do in an emergency06
Towing in this manner may be done
only on a solid ground for a short dis-
tance and at a low speed. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering
and brakes must all be in good con-
dition.
Do not use the tow hooks to pull avehicle out of mud, sand or others,
from which the vehicle cannot drive
out with its own power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than a towing vehicle.
The two drivers of the both vehi- cles should frequently communi-
cate each other.
Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
Using other parts of the vehicle than the towing hooks while
towing may damage the vehicle.
Use only the authorized cables or chains for towing. Securely
fasten the cables or chains to
the towing hook.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Securely fasten the towing cable or chain to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Maintain a steady and even force.
To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull the hook at a diagonal or
vertical angle. Always pull it
straight out.
NOTICE
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
Avoid a sudden start or abruptdriving maneuvers, which
may excessively stress the
emergency towing hooks,
cables or chains. The towing
hooks, cables or chains may
break and cause a serious
injury or damage.
When you cannot move your damaged or disabled vehicle,
do not forcibly try to tow the
vehicle. Contact an authorized
EQUUS dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle in a straight line.
Keep a distance away from the vehicle while towing.
WARNING

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.
