■ When towing
● As a double safety measure, attach the vehicle being towed to the eyelet bolt with a
cable or rope.
● Attach the vehicle being pulled to the pintle hook so that the pulling force is horizontal.
● Because of the installations of the pintle hook and steps, the vehicle’s departure angle is
reduced. Be careful not to interfere with road surface while driving through rough ter-
rain.
: If equipped
The pintle hook can be used for towing.
