Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.

Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cable or chain.

●

If the hybrid system is not operating, the power assist for the brakes and
steering will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

NOTICE

■

To prevent causing serious damage to the transmission

Never tow this vehicle from the rear with the four wheels on the ground.
