CAUTIONl[For 2WD vehicles equipped with the Active
Stability Control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the ASC may operate, result-
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the
“ACC” position or put the operation mode in ACC.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the
operation mode as follows.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless op- eration system]
The ignition switch is in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in ACC and
secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tiedown strap. Neverplace the ignition switch in the “LOCK” po-
sition or put the operation mode in OFF when towing.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)
Release the parking brake.
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( M/T) or the selector lever in the
“N” (Neutral) position (CVT).
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 hook (A) is located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEl Do not use the tie-down hooks (B) for tow-
ing. These hooks are provided only for thepurpose of transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook (A) could result in damage to
the vehicle body.
l 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 Use care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the steer- ing wheel.

less operation system]

Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position ( M/T) or “ON” position
(A/T or CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]
Put the operation mode in ACC or ON (M/T) or ON (A/T or CVT).NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “AS&G OFF”switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22.WARNINGl When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres- sion force and higher steering effort arerequired. Therefore, vehicle operation is more difficult than usual.CAUTIONl Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control.3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position ( M/T), or the selector
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position ( A/T
or CVT).
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operation could
cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow
rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your ve-hicle transported by a tow truck.CAUTIONl When the vehicle equipped with
A/T or
CVT is to be towed by another vehicle with
the all wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage to the
transmission.
Towing speed: 40 km/h (25 mph)
Towing distance: 40 km (25 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
1. Take out the towing hook, wheel nut
wrench and jack bar.
Refer to “Tools, jack and tyre repair kit”
