3. Use the wheel nut wrench (B) to securely
mount the towing hook (C).
4. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
CAUTION
l
Do not tow the vehicle with the rope at an
excessive diagonal angle.
NOTE
l
To avoid deforming or otherwise damaging
the vehicle body when hooking the rope onto
the towing hook, observe the following in-
structions:
• Mount the towing hook securely.
• Do not attach the rope to any part of the
vehicle other than the towing hook.
• Ensure that the tow rope is taut when the
towing vehicle moves away.
5. Keep the engine running.
If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
switch to the "ACC" or "ON" position (M/T)
or "ON" position (A/T or CVT) to unlock
the steering wheel.
NOTE
l
For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the "Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) OFF" switch to deactivate the
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stop-
ping the vehicle.
Refer to "To deactivate" on page 4-23.
CAUTION
l
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, have
the vehicle transported by a tow truck
with all wheels raised off the ground if
the engine does not start. If the vehicle is
towed without starting the engine, the
Twin Clutch SST may be damaged be-
cause the fluid will not reach all parts of
the transmission.
Refer to "If your vehicle needs to be tow-
ed" on page 6-23.
l
When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering system
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l
Do not leave the key in the "LOCK" posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
6. Place the gearshift lever (M/T) in the "Neu-
tral" position, or the selector lever (A/T or
CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST)
in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position.

For emergencies
7. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required
by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
8. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.
CAUTION
l
The person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the
rope never becomes slack.
l
Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l
When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
