Towing in this manner may be done only on hard-
surfaced roads for a short distance and at low
speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in good condition.
• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a vehicle out of
mud, sand or other conditions from which the
vehicle cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle
doing the towing.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other frequently.

• Before emergency towing, check that the hook is
not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the
hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even
force.
• To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the
side or at a vertical angle. Always pull straight
ahead.
✽✽
NOTICE
• Attach a towing strap to the tow hook.
• Using a portion of the vehicle other than the
tow hooks for towing may damage the body
of your vehicle.
• Use only a cable or chain specifically
intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to the
towing hook provided.
