For emergencies
CAUTION
l
When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the "LOCK" posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the "N" (Neutral)
position (M/T) or the selector lever in the
"N" (NEUTRAL) position (A/T).
4. Shift the transfer shift lever to the "2H" posi-
tion.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required
by law.
(Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.

CAUTION
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
6-18
CAUTION
l
When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle with A/T is to be towed
by another vehicle with the all wheels on
the ground, make sure that the towing
speed and distance given below are never
exceeded, avoiding damage to the trans-
mission.
3800 models
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
3200 models
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle
Only use the rear towing hook as shown in the illus-
tration.
Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.
CAUTION
l When you are going to tow another vehi-
cle, move the transfer shift lever to the
"4H" position.
Selecting "2H" drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in pos-
sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
NOTE
l Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.
