In case of an emergency
When your vehicle is being towed
by another vehicle other than a
tow truck (In case of an emer-
gency)
Tips for towing a stuck vehicle
CAUTION
The following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand
or similar substances that prevent the
vehicle from being driven out under its
own power.
To prevent internal damage to the
transaxle, never tow your vehicle
from the rear (backwards) with all
four tires in contact with the sur-
face.
•
Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel isn’t locked.
•
Remove the soil and sand, etc. from
the front and the back of the tires.
•
Place the transaxle shift lever in N
(Neutral).
•
Place a stone or wood under the tires.
•
•
Release the parking bake.
Vehicle
equipped
with
automatic
transaxles should not exceed 45 km/h
(28
mph) and should not be towed
more than 80 km (50 miles).
•
•
•
Press the brake pedal with more force
than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
