WARNING

If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it

with the front wheels raised. If the front

wheels are on the ground when towing,

the traction motor may generate electric-

ity. This may damage the Hybrid System

components and cause a fire.

CAUTION

Never tow this vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground or four wheels on

the ground (forward or backward), as

this may cause serious and expensive

damage to the transmission. If it is nec-

essary to tow the vehicle with the rear

wheels raised always use towing dollies

under the front wheels.

When towing with the front wheels on

towing dollies:

– Push the ignition switch to the OFF

position, and secure the steering

wheel in a straight-ahead position

with a rope or similar device. Never

secure the steering wheel with the

ignition switch in the LOCK position.

This may damage the steering lock

mechanism.

– Move the gearshift lever to the N

(Neutral) position.

When towing hybrid vehicles with the

rear wheels on the ground (if you do not

use towing dollies): Always release the

parking brake.
