When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire
strapping belts. Refer to the
owner's manual of the flat-bed
truck for the tire strapping
method.
In order to suppress vehicle
movement during transporta-
tion, set the parking brake and
turn the engine switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using
cables or chains secured to the
emergency towing eyelet. This
should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most
50 miles (80 km) at under 18
mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train,
axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eye-
let must be installed to your
vehicle. Install the towing eyelet using the following procedure.
1
Take out the wheel nut
wrench and towing eyelet.
( P.406)
2 Remove the eyelet cover
using a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the b odywork, place a
rag between the screwdriver and
the vehicle body as shown in the
illustration.

the hole and tighten partially
by hand.

tions.

off.
There is a possibility that the
steering wheel is locked and
cannot be operated.
