Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position ( A/T). Turn the
ignition key to the “ACC” position and se-
cure the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap. Neverplace the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-sition when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear
towing hooks (B) are located as shown
in the illustrations. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.
Rear
NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.NOTEl Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ig-
nition switch to the “ACC” or “ON” po- sition to unlock the steering wheel.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do not op- erate. This means higher brake depression
force and higher steering effort are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult
than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (with M/T) or the se-
lector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition (with A/T).
4. Shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” po-
sition.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
Towing
8-18OVWE16E1For emergencies8Front

Avoid racing the engine or spinning thewheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve-
hicle may result in overheating, transmission and drivetrain failure. Allow the engine toidle for a few minutes to let the transmissioncool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, seek other assistance.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-ward or backward, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
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.
On a snow-covered or frozen
road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre
chains” sections.
CAUTION• Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could cause skidding and spinouts. Also, doing so could cause damage to the drivetrain.l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con- ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brakes (ABS). As your
vehicle is equipped with ABS, brake by pressing the brake pedal hard, and keep-
ing it pressed.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.

1. Gently wipe off with gauze or other soft
cloth soaked with a 5 % aqueous solu- tion of neutral detergent.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTEl If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.
l The genuine leather surface may be dam-
aged if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is
rubbed hard against it.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface. Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle E00900700195
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.Washing
E00900901875
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can damagethe paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements such as rain,snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car wash- ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.CAUTIONl When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.
l If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position
to deactivate the rain sensor before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper-ate in the presence of water spray on the
windscreen and may get damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker
coloured vehicles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment, as
this may adversely affect engine starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin parts and may result in
flooding of the vehicle interior. Therefore;
