3. Securely install the tow eye in front
or rear using the lug wrench or
equivalent.

4. Hook the towing rope to the tow
eye.

Caution!

Tow eyes are for emergency use only, to
rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not
use tow eyes for tow truck hookup or
highway towing. You could damage your
vehicle.

When using the tow eyes, always pull
the lead or chain in a straight direction
with respect to the eyelet. Never apply
a sideways force.

Note:

Follow the precautions below to

avoid damage to the towing eyelet and
towing hook, vehicle body, or
transmission system when towing:

Do not tow a vehicle heavier than

yours.

Do not suddenly accelerate your

vehicle as it will apply a severe shock
to the tow eye and towing hook or
rope.

Do not attach any rope other than

to the tow eye and towing hook.

Emergency Towing

Towing Description

Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be
followed.
A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (rear wheels) OFF of the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.

Caution!

DO NOT

use sling-type equipment when

towing. When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.

If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground using
the towing hook at the front of the
vehicle. Only tow the vehicle on paved
surfaces for short distances at low
speeds.
