ized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service.
In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a
tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.

that oil or some other fluid is leaking.

the vehicle.

ice for assistance.

Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION

er in "4H", "4HLC" or "4LLC" positions
and with the front or rear wheels on the
ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated.
This could result in the driving system

riage. If you cannot shift the transfer
shift lever to the "2H" position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with the all

lustrated.
