Towing
The 4WD vehicle should never be towed with the wheels on the ground. Your vehicle must be towed with a flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground or wheel lift and dollies (1).
For more information, refer to Trailer towing.
-
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide safe ride and handling capability. Do not use tires and wheels that are different in size and type from the originally installed ones. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to steering failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity.
-
While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine or cause the tires to rotate. There is the danger that rotating tires touching the ground could cause the vehicle to go off the jack and to jump forward.
-
The AWD vehicle cannot be towed with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
-
When lifting up the vehicle, do not operate front and rear wheel separately. All four wheels should be operated.
-
If you need to operate the front wheel and rear wheel when lifting up the vehicle, you should release the parking brake.
