If the vehicle must ever tow or be towed, observe the following:
NOTE:
The tow-rope should be able to stretch to reduce the risk of damage to
both vehicles. It is advisable to use synthetic fiber ropes or ropes of
similar elastic material only. However, it is safer to use a tow-bar!
Avoid excessive towing effort and do not jerk. During towing operations
on unsurfaced roads there is always a danger that the attachment points
will be overstressed and damaged.
Vehicle towing should only be done if it is not possible to start the engine
with the starting assist cable.
