WARNING
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc., which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.
●Do not perform any of the following
as doing so may cause the parking lock mechanism to engage, locking the front wheels and possibly lead-
ing to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
• Unfasten the driver’s seat belt and open the driver’s door.
• Turn the power switch off.
■Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
