Attention: towing cars with a CVT or automatic transmission is allowed at a speed of no more than 30 km/h for a distance of no more than 80 km. If it is necessary to tow over a longer distance, it should be carried out using the full loading method. Towing is possible by partial loading of the front axle of the car.
If full load towing is not possible, the vehicle can be towed using a tow rope.
Sedan
station wagon
Note: To prevent damage to the front bumper cover when towing the vehicle, remove the center section of the cover.
Use extreme caution when towing your vehicle. Avoid sudden starts and sudden maneuvers that could put excessive force on the towline or chain. The hinges, tow rope or chain can break and cause serious injury or damage to the vehicle. When towing your vehicle, do the following:
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Set the variator selector to position "N" (models with CVT or automatic transmission) or the shift lever to the position corresponding to the neutral (models with manual transmission).
3. The ignition key must be in position "ACC" (engine not running) or "ON" (engine running).
Note: Do not remove the key from the ignition as this will lock the steering wheel. If the engine is not running, then the brake and steering boosters will not work, so the forces on the controls will be much more than usual.
4. Exercise caution when towing a stuck vehicle. Stay away from vehicles and tow lines.
