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.
