10-1
2-wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Trans-
mission or Auto Gear Shift
Manual transmission vehicles or Auto Gear
Shift may be towed using either of the fol-
lowing methods.
• Being towed from the front:
Lift the front wheels and keep the rear
wheels on the ground. Before the vehicle
is towed, make sure that the parking
brake is released.
• Being towed from the rear:
Lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and drive-
train are in operational condition. Before
towing, check that transmission is in
neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked
(vehicle without keyless push start sys-
tem - the ignition key should be in "ACC"
position) (vehicle with keyless push start
system - the ignition mode is ACC), and
the steering wheel is secured with a
clamping device designed for towing
service.
NOTICE
• After shifting the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever to the "N" position,
always check the gear position
indicator in the instrument cluster
shows the "N" position to make
sure that the transmission is disen-
gaged.
If the transmission cannot be put in
neutral, turn the key from "LOCK"
to "ON" position or press the
engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to ON, and move the
Auto Gear Shift gearshift lever from
"N" to "D", "M" or "R", then back to
"N" again. Then turn the key from
"ON" to "LOCK" position or press
the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
These procedures may help put the
transmission in neutral. If the trans-
mission still cannot be put in neu-
tral, you cannot tow the vehicle
without using a towing dolly.
• The steering column is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the front wheels during
towing. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
