What to do in an emergency
僅 Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
僅 Release the parking brake.
僅 Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
僅 More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
僅 If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
僅 The vehicle should be towed at a
speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) or less
within the distance of 20 km (12
miles). (For Manual Transmission
vehicle)
僅 To avoid serious damage to the Dual
Clutch Transmission/Intelligent Vari-
able Transmission, limit the vehicle
speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive
less than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing.
(for Dual Clutch Transmission/Intelli-
gent Variable Transmission vehicle)
CAUTION
Dual Clutch Transmission/Intelligent
Variable Transmission
僅 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 must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.
僅 Before towing, check the Intelligent
Variable Transmission/Dual Clutch
Transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the Intelligent Variable
Transmission/Dual Clutch Transmis-
sion fluid is leaking, flatbed equip-
ment or a towing dolly must be used.
