What to do in an emergency
• Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inch) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
• Before towing, check the intelligent
variable transmission (IVT) for fluid
leaks under your vehicle. If the
intelligent variable transmission
(IVT) fluid is leaking, flatbed equip-
ment or a towing dolly must be
used.
