Towing eyelet

ITO51P107

Emergency towing procedure

Release the parking brake.

Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.

Put the shift lever in “N”.

CAUTION

While towing

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.

This may cause serious damage to the transmission.
