WARNING

vehicle.
僅 Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving

hook and towing cable or chain. The
hook and towing cable or chain may
break and cause serious injury or
damage.

moved, do not forcibly continue the

commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
僅 Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as
possible.
僅 Keep away from the vehicle during
towing.
僅 Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5
m) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
僅 Drive carefully so that the towing

steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is towed and passengers
other than the driver must not be
allowed to be on board.
