Towing

TOWING

Towing
- Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.




- A towed vehicle should have its front wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.







CAUTION: Do not tow a vehicle backward forward with the driving wheel on the ground. This may cause Internal damage to the transaxle.







CAUTION: Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use a wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Tiedown

CAUTION:
- Do not use the tiedown hooks under the front and rear for towing. They are designed ONLY for tying down the vehicle when it's being transported. Using them for towing will damage the bumper.
- Either of the front tiedown books (left/right) can be used.


1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the lug wrench from the trunk.




2. Wrap a lug wrench with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the bumper and open the cap located on the front and rear bumper.







CAUTION: The cap cannot be completely removed. Do not use excessive force as it may damage the cap or scratch the painted bumper surface







3. Securely install the tiedown eyelet using the lug wrench.




4. Hook the tying rope to the tiedown eyelet.







CAUTION: If the tiedown eyelet is not securely tightened, it may loosen or disengage from the bumper when tying down the vehicle. Make sure that the tiedown eyelet is securely tightened to the bumper.
