CAUTION
The towing eyelet should be used in an
emergency (to get the vehicle out of a
ditch or a snow bank, for example).
When using the towing eyelets, always
pull the lead or chain in a straight
direction with respect to the eyelet. Never
apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap the
chain or lead with a soft cloth near the
bumper to prevent damage to the bumper.
1. Remove the towing eyelet and the
wheel brace from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or similar
tool with a soft cloth to prevent
damage to a painted bumper, and open
the cap located on the front or rear
bumper.
