IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

TOWING PRECAUTIONS:

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by the
state/provincial and local laws. The wheels and axle on the
ground must be in good condition. If they are damaged, use
a towing dolly.
CAUTION
When your vehicle is towed, put the vehicle height in the
"N" (normal) mode and push the "HEIGHT CONTROL
OFF" switch to turn off the rear height control air
suspension.
Otherwise, the vehicle height may be
changed in the automatic leveling function, resulting in
accident.
For details, see "Rear height control air
suspension" on page 366.

Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission
from the front with rear wheels on the ground, as this
may cause serious damage to the transmission.
