Precautions for towing
Before emergency towing, be sure to follow the
instructions below:
-
Hazard warning lamps of both towing and
towed vehicles must be turned on, and
local traffic regulations must be complied
with.
-
The towing hook must be firmly tightened
in the thread hole. Otherwise, the towing
hook may slip out of the thread hole
during towing.
-
The towed vehicle must be shifted into “N”.
-
For the towed vehicle, set the vehicle
power switch to the “ON” position and
turn the steering wheel back and forth to
confirm that the steering wheel can be
turned.
During the emergency towing, be sure to follow
the instructions below:
-
Start the engine and drive at a slow
speed till the towing rope is tight and then
accelerate the vehicle slowly.
-
Be sure to drive steadily and avoid sharp
acceleration, sharp deceleration or abrupt
turning.
-
During towing, the towed vehicle shall be
braked earlier than in normal conditions
with the brake pedal lightly depressed.
-
During towing, the towing rope must
always be in a tight state.
8.9 Getting out of a trap
If the vehicle is stuck on a soft road such as
sandy, muddy or snowy road, follow the steps
below to get out of a trap:
1. Observe the areas in front of and behind
the vehicle to ensure that there are no
obstacles.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the left and to
the right to grind areas around the front
wheels to remove mud, snow or sand
trapped around the tires.
3. Place wooden blocks, stones or other
materials to help increase tire friction.
4. Start the engine and accelerate the
vehicle slowly to get the vehicle out of the
trap.
5. If the vehicle still cannot get out of the
trap after attempts for several times, it is
required to have a tow truck for rescue.
NOTE
In the acceleration process, human
assistance can be provided to push the
vehicle from the front and rear for driving
the vehicle out of the trap.
