power ramp to safely lift the vehicle
and tie-down straps. Ensure the vehi-
cle is properly transported as specified
in this section.

towing can seriously damage the ve-
hicle's drive system.

Avoid using chains to tie
the vehicle — they may damage
the surface finish or plastic com-
ponents.

Make sure no loose objects are
present inside vehicle during vehi-
cle transportation.

hicle onto a platform or a trailer,
make sure to respect the following
safety precautions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carrying
equipment
The carrying item (platform
or trailer or flat bed)
must be of appropriate
dimensions and capacity
to safely support and
transport the vehicle.
Hauling
vehicle
Do not exceed vehicle
hauling capacity and
specifications. Ensure
the trailer or platform is
properly secured to the
hauling vehicle hitch.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Visibility
Ensure you have a good
visibility during the entire
maneuver.
Terrain
The hauling vehicle and
trailer must be on a leveled
surface. Use wheel
chocks on trailer and
hauling vehicle to avoid
any movement.
Ramps
Use ramps with proper
rating and secure ramps
to the trailer or platform.
Avoid steep ramps.
Bystanders
Always make sure
bystanders are not close to
the vehicle or the trailering
equipment while climbing
up.
Using vehicle power to
climb onto trailering
equipment
When vehicle can climb on its own
power, proceed as follows;
Wear protective gear.
Fasten seat belt.
Use low gear only (if equipped).
If vehicle has 4wd option, use it.
When driving remain seated at all
times.
Ensure proper alignment on rails or
platform.
1. Start from a sufficient distance from
the trailer to align the vehicle in a
straight line with the ramps. Never
attempt to turn while getting closer
to the ramp. Rear wheels might not
be aligned once you get to the ramp
and vehicle may fall off.
2. Slowly climb the front wheels onto
the ramp to verify alignment.
