8
When trouble arises
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing hook(s). This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 50 miles (80 km) at under 18 mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drivetrain, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
Securely attach a cables or chains to the towing hook(s).
Take care not to damage the vehicle body.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” p\
osition.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Enter the vehicle being towed and start the engine.
If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode\
.
4WD models: Put the front-wheel dr ive control switch in “2WD”.
Shift the shift lever to N and release the parking brake.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission: When the shift lever can-
not be shifted. (→ P. 200)
■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
