What to do in an emergency
Use a towing strap less than 5 m(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loose during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
Turn the ignition switch to ACC sothe steering wheel isn’t locked.
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Press the brake pedal with more force than usual since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Before towing, check the reduction
gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear fluid is
leaking, a flatbed equipment or tow-
ing dolly must be used.OPA067014
CAUTION
To avoid serious damage to the
reduction gear, limit the vehiclespeed to 10 mph (15 km/h) anddrive less than 1 mile (1.5 km)when towing.
