Emergency situations
• Use a towing cable or chain less than 5
m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches) wide)
in the middle of the cable or chain for
easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the Automated
manual transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the Automated
manual transmission fluid is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.

using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
• Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
