8. Towing / transportation / storage
1. How to Transport
Transport the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow the vehicle with all wheels off ground
- Vehicle dimensions. (Refer to 1-4.)
WARNING:
• Never tow the vehicle with front wheels and/or rear wheels on the ground. This may cause damage to the electric motors
and transaxle.
• When the high voltage leakage is concerned, load the vehicle so that only the tyres are in contact with the loading surface.
If the metal part of the vehicle, such as body panel, is in contact with the loading surface due to the condition of the vehicle,
insert an insulating sheet between the vehicle and loading surface.
CAUTION:
If the 12V auxiliary battery charging level is too low or the 12V auxiliary battery negative terminal is disconnected, you
cannot move the selector position from the P position.
- The figure shows examples only.
- When loading the vehicle on the truck, handle carefully to prevent further damage.

How to Tow (only in emergency)
1) Cover your fine-tipped tool with a cloth, insert it into the groove of the front bumper cover, and remove the cover.
2) Attach the tow hook using a hard metal rod or the like.
3) Hook a towrope to the tow hook of the vehicle body.
4) Start the Hybrid EV System.
If the Hybrid EV System cannot be started, put the operation mode of the power switch in “ON”.
5) Move the select position in “N” (Neutral) position.
6) Press down the electric parking brake switch while depressing the brake pedal.
The indicator in the combination meter will turn off.
7) Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and regulations.)
8) During towing, make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the
vehicles travel at low speed.
NOTE:
When you can not release the electric parking brake by operating the switch due to malfunction of the vehicle,
release the electric parking brake manually. (Refer to 8-3.)
