CAUTION
!
● This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.
● If the transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a
carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
● If your vehicle has an automated manual transmis-
sion, place the allshift lever in the "N" (Neutral)
position before stopping the engine.
Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever (manual transmission) or the allshift
lever (automated manual transmission) in the "N" (Neutral)
position. With a vehicle that has an automated manual trans-
mission, confirm that the transmission is in the "N" (Neutral)
position by checking that "N" is shown by the allshift indicator
display and by pushing the vehicle.
Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or tie-
down strap. Never place the ignition key in the "LOCK" posi-
tion when towing.
If, with a vehicle that has an automated manual transmission,
the engine will not start and the transmission is not in the "N"
(Neutral) position, press the brake pedal, turn the ignition
switch to the "ON" position, and move the allshift lever to the
"N" (Neutral) position.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)
Release the parking brake.
Place the gearshift lever (manual transmission) or the allshift
lever (automated manual transmission) in the "N" (Neutral)
position. With a vehicle that has an automated manual trans-
mission, confirm that the transmission is in the "N" (Neutral)
position by checking that "N" is shown by the allshift indicator
display and by pushing the vehicle.
If, with a vehicle that has an automated manual transmission,
the engine will not start and the transmission is not in the "N"
(Neutral) position, press the brake pedal, turn the ignition
switch to the "ON" position, and move the allshift lever to the
"N" (Neutral) position.
