• Use a towing strap less than 5 m
(16 feet) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap
for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during
towing.

vehicle for steering and braking
7 42
operations when the vehicle is
towed and passengers other than
the driver must not be allowed to
be on board.
Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so
the steering wheel isn't locked.
• Place the transmission shift lever
in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking bake.
• The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) or less
within the distance of 20 km (12
miles).
• Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be
required because the power
steering system will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long
hill, the brakes may overheat
and brake performance will be
reduced. Stop often and let the
brakes cool off.
CAUTION
- Automatic transmission / Dual
clutch transmission
• If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A driver
