When trouble arises
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift type 
truck 
● Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is in the 
“LOCK” position or the key is removed (vehicles without smart entry & start 
system) or the engine switch is turned to off (vehicles with smart entry &
start system). The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold 
the front wheels straight. 
● When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at 
the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the 
vehicle could be damaged while being towed. 
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type truck 
Do not tow with a sling-type truck,  either from the front or rear. 
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing 
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components. 
■ When towing a vehicle equipped with the Stop & Start system (if 
equipped) 
When it is necessary to tow the vehicle with all four wheels contacting the 
ground, perform the following procedure before towing the vehicle to protect 
the system. 
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry 
& start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system) once, and 
then start the engine. If the engine does not start, turn the engine switch to 
the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
