flat towing this vehicle. The ignition must be ON
in order to place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
Therefore, if the key is unavailable or the battery

all four wheels OFF the ground (using a vehicle
trailer or flatbed truck).

Ensure that the tow eye is properly seated
and secure in the mounting receptacle.

The tow eye is recommended for use with an
approved tow bar and/or rope.

Do not use the tow eye to pull the vehicle
onto a flatbed truck.

WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow eyes.

Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or death.

Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye. Tow
straps may break or become disengaged,
causing serious injury or death.

Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may
cause components to break resulting in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!

The tow eye must be used exclusively for
roadside assistance operations. Only use
the tow eye with an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar or rope) to flat tow the vehicle for a
short distance to the nearest service loca -
tion.

Tow eyes MUST NOT be used to tow vehi -
cles off the road or where there are obsta -
cles.

In compliance with the above conditions,
towing with a tow eye must take place with
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same center line. Damage to your vehicle
may occur if these guidelines are not
followed.

When towing, only use a facility that can
tow vehicles with low ground clearances as
extensive damage can result by using a
standard tow truck platform.
