If your vehicle needs to be towed,

call a professional towing service or

organization. Never tow your vehicle

with just a rope or chain. It is very

dangerous.

(On SH-AWD models)

The only way you can safely tow

your vehicle is with flat-bed

equipment. The operator will load

your vehicle on the back of a truck.

Any other method of towing will

damage the drive system. When you

contact the towing agency, inform

them a flat-bed is required.

Towing with only two tires on the

ground will damage parts of the all-

wheel-drive system. Your vehicle should

be transported on a flat-bed truck or

trailer.

(Execpt SH-AWD models)

There are two ways to tow your

vehicle:

Flat-bed Equipment

－ The operator

loads your vehicle on the back of a

truck. This is the best way to

transport your vehicle.

Wheel-lift Equipment

－ The tow

truck uses two pivoting arms that go

under the front tires and lift them off

the ground. The rear tires remain on

the ground. This is an acceptable

way to tow your vehicle.

If, due to damage, your vehicle must

be towed with the front wheels on

the ground, do this:

●

Start the engine.

●

Shift to the D position and hold for

5 seconds, then to N.

●

Turn off the engine.

●

Leave the ignition switch in the

ACCESSORY (I) position so the

steering wheel does not lock.

●

Release the parking brake.
