Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only
tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following equipment manufac-
turer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing
device to main structural members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or associated brackets.
State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
