TOWING

Towing

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

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






CAUTION:
- Do not tow the vehicle pointed forward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transmission.






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






Tiedown

- Do not use the front and rear Tie-down eyelets for towing the vehicle. The have been designed only for securing the vehicle to a transport vessel during shipping. Using the eyelets for any other purpose could result in the vehicle being damaged.

1. Wrap the wheel brace with a soft cloth to prevent damage to a painted bumper, and open the cap located on the front or rear bumper.
