hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by

another vehicle

8-22 For emergencies
NOTE
l Do not use the tie-down hooks (B) for tow-
ing. These hooks are provided only for the
purpose of transporting the vehicle itself.
Using any part other than the designated
towing hook (A) could result in damage to
the vehicle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
2. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
OGAE19E1

"ON" position (M/T) or "ON" position
(CVT).
[For vehicles with the keyless operation
system]

l
For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the "AS&G OFF"
switch to deactivate the AS&G system be-
fore stopping the vehicle.

WARNING
l When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering system do not
operate. This means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
more difficult than usual.
CAUTION
l Do not leave the ignition switch in the
"LOCK" position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
