EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS

• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front and the rear.

NOTE:

For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to

minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.

WARNING!

• Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck vehicle. Chains may break, causing

serious injury or death.

• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. Tow straps and chains may

break, causing serious injury.

CAUTION!

Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not
use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could damage your
vehicle. Tow straps are recommended when towing the vehicle; chains may cause
vehicle damage.
