What to do in an emergency
Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.
OKA4060021N
OKA4060025N
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 tow -
ing.
The driver must be in the vehicle
for steering and braking opera -
tions 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 or the
ENGINE START/STOP button to
the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
Shift the gear to N (Neutral).
Release the parking bake.
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.
To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10
mph) and drive less than 1.5 km
(1 mile) when towing.
