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 loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking bake. • Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per‐formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
