the vehicle onto a flatbed truck using
a properly-installed tow eye. Using the
chassis, frame, or suspension
components to pull the vehicle can
result in damage.
WARNING: If the vehicle is pulled onto
the flatbed truck using this method, all
suspension fasteners should be

arises in which the tow eye is not available
(lost, misplaced, etc.), the following
instructions describe how to attach tow
straps.
