Towing
WARNING
If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service. Your dealer
can provide you with detailed towing
instructions.
Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed
using either of the following methods.
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
1) From the front, with the front wheels
lifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brake is released.
NOTICE
4) If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the
engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery. Run the engine at moderate
speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact
reverse order in which you connected
them.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle
during towing, proper equipment and
towing procedures must be used.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and driv-
etrain are in operational condition.
Before towing, make sure that transaxle
is in neutral, the steering wheel is
unlocked (vehicle without keyless push
start system - the ignition key should be
in the “ACC” position) (vehicle with key-
less push start system - the ignition
mode is “ACC”), and the steering wheel
is secured with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) CVT
CVT vehicles may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheels
lifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and a dolly under the front wheels.
NOTICE
NOTICE
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.
Towing your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground can result in
damage to the CVT.
