down your vehicle, the angles
shaded in black must be 45  .

downs or the vehicle may be
damaged.NOTICE■ To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission when towi ng
using a wheel-lift type truck (vehicles with an automatic trans mission)
Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on t he ground.
■ To prevent damaging the vehicle
● Vehicles without a smart key system: Do not tow the vehicle fro m the rear
when the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position or the key is removed.
The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the fr ont wheels
straight.
