■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Vehicles without smart entry & start
system: Do not tow the vehicle from
the rear when the engine switch is in the “LOCK” position or the key is
removed. The steering lock mecha-
nism is not strong enough to hold
the front wheels straight.

system: Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is
off. The steering lock mechanism is
not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to
prevent body damage.
