Remarks
For AWD models, the basic principle is that
l
all four wheels are to be raised before
towing.
The shift lever should be set to 1 st gear and
l
the parking brake should be applied.
< M / T >
The selector lever should be set to "P"
l
position and the parking brake should be
applied. <AK>
The vehicle must not be towed by placing
l
only its front wheels or only the rear wheels
on a rolling dolly, because to do so will
result in deterioration of the viscous
coupling and result in the viscous coupling
causing the vehicle to jump forward
suddenly.
If only the front wheels or only the rear
l
wheels are lifted for towing, the bumper
will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes
the oil to flow forward, and may result in
heat damage to the rear bushing of the
transfer, and so should never be done.
