• Drive carefully so the towing cable or
chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the Automatic
Transmission, and Intelligent Variable
Transmission for fluid leaks under your
vehicle. If the 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.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
• Always pull straight ahead when using
the towing hooks. Do not pull from the
side or at a vertical angle.
• Do not use the towing hooks to pull the
vehicle out of mud, sand, or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Limit the vehicle speed to 10 mph (15
km/h) and drive less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
when towing to avoid serious damage
to transmission.
