About driving during towing

●
Take great care when towing. Avoid sudden starts that overload the tow
hooks and ropes, and avoid incorrect vehicle operation.
The tow hook or rope may be damaged. In the unlikely event that the debris hits
people around you, it may cause serious injury, which is dangerous.
●
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Do not set the engine switch to "LOCK". It is
dangerous because the steering wheel is locked and you cannot operate the steering
wheel, which may lead to an unexpected accident.
●
Vehicles equipped with smart entry & start system:
Do not turn off the "engine start / stop" switch. It is dangerous because the steering
wheel is locked and you cannot operate the steering wheel, which may lead to an
unexpected accident.
●
Drive the towed car carefully. If the engine is stopped, the brakes will not
work well and the steering wheel will be heavier than usual.

in the specified position, it may shift when towing, resulting in serious injury or
even death in the worst case.
