not touch each other or other
metal.

Jumper Cable Removal

After starting the disabled vehicle
and removing the jumper cables,
allow it to idle for several minutes.

Towing the Vehicle

Caution

Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Do not lash or hook to
suspension components. Use the
proper straps around the tires to
secure the vehicle.

Have the vehicle towed on a flatbed
car carrier or a wheel lift tow truck. If
a wheel lift tow truck is used, the
drive wheels cannot contact the
road while the vehicle is being
towed. A wheel dolly must be used
to lift all drive wheels off the ground.

Caution

Improper use of the tow eye can
cause vehicle damage. Use
caution and low speeds to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
