In case of emergency

Rear tie-down hooks:

& Using a flat-bed truck

9-15

CAUTION
If your vehicle has a front underspoiler and rear underspoiler (both
optional), be careful not to scrape
them when placing the vehicle on
the carrier and when removing the
vehicle from the carrier.

& Towing with all wheels on the
ground
The rear tie-down hooks are located near
each of the jack-up reinforcements.

WARNING
Use the rear tie-down hooks only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip off
the hooks, possibly causing a dangerous situation.

This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the shift lever into the “1st”
position.
2. Pull up the parking brake lever firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.

1. Release the parking brake and put the
transmission in the neutral position.
2. The ignition switch should be in the
“Acc” position while the vehicle is being
towed.
3. Take up slack in the towline slowly to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
