A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also,
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
D
Use extreme caution when towing
vehicles. Avoid sudden starts or er-
ratic driving maneuvers
would place excessive stress on the
emergency towing eyelets and tow-
ing cable or chain. The eyelets and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
D
In case of installing the front eyelet
on the vehicle, be sure to tighten
the front eyelet securely. If the eye-
let is loose, it may come off when
towing and result in death or seri-
ous injury to the passenger in the
front vehicle or damage to that ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
z Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
the
chain to the towing eyelet provided.
z Do not use the left rear eyelet. It is
not designed for towing.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral (manu-
al) or "N" (automatic). The key must be
which
in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine run-
ning).
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
