The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated. Never try to tow with the transfer shift lever in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with the front or rearwheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in driving sys-
tem damage or the vehicle may jump at the
carriage. If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position or the transmis-sion is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the vehicle with all wheels on a carriage
(Type D or E) as illustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and only
the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active Traction
Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.CAUTIONl If you tow vehicles with
A/T with the driv-
ing wheels on the ground (Type B) as illus-
trated, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-
ulations.
Towing with front wheels off
the ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position (A/T).
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an
A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid level islow. This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
