CAUTIONlIf you tow the vehicles with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustrated,
make sure that the towing speed and dis-
tance given below are never exceeded, caus-
ing 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 selector lever in the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position.
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 is low. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position. Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a ropeor tiedown strap. Never place the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” position 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.
Towing
8-17OVWX17E1For emergencies8 Front
NOTElSecure 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 selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
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
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.
CAUTIONl 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.
l When the vehicle is to be towed by another
vehicle with all the wheels on the ground,make sure that the towing speed and dis-
tance given below are never exceeded,
avoiding 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.If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
Only use the rear towing hook as shown in
the illustration. Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.
CAUTIONl When you are going to tow another vehicle,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif- ferential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
