If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
