Electronic Parking Brake – If the Electronic Parking Brake Cannot Be Released ( CVT Models )
CAUTION
. If transmission failure occurs , transport your vehicle on a flatbed truck .
. Sometime damaged vehicles cannot be towed because of their damaged condition . In that case , use a flat-bed truck for transportation .
. For CVT models , the traveling speed must be limited to less than 20 mph ( 32 km / h ) and the traveling distance to less than 31 miles ( 50 km ). For greater speeds and distances , transport your vehicle on a flat-bed truck .
. Use a flat-bed truck if there are long distance downgrades or steep slopes . However , do not apply the brake pedal for a long time because the engine braking will not work while towing . Doing so could overheat the brake .
. Drive carefully and do not make an impact on the towing rope by suddenly starting .
. Use a specific towing rope for towing . If wire ropes and metal chains are needed to be used for towing , wrap the contact portion
of the bumper with cloth to protect it from damage .
1 . Release the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral .
2 . The ignition switch should be in the “ ON ” position while the vehicle is being towed .
3 . Take up slack in the towline slowly to prevent damage to the vehicle .
