Note
Improper towing procedure will
damage the transmission. Follow the
above instructions precisely. When
towing with the front wheels off the
ground, it is best to tow no more than
80 kms. Also keep the towing speed
below 55 kmph.
Towing your vehicle during Emergency
If a towing service is unavailable in an
emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily
towed by a cable or chain secured to the
emergency towing eyelet under the front
bumper of the vehicle.
Use only the eyelet provided, for towing in
an emergency. Otherwise the vehicle may
be damaged.
Warning
Do not extract the key, as the
steering wheel will lock automatically
and you will be unable to steer the
wheels.
Warning
When towing the vehicle,
make sure that you observe the road
traffic regulations concerning both the
towing device and driving conduct.
Caution
• A driver must be in the vehicle being
towed to steer and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner must be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for short
distances and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving
maneuvers, which would place
excessive stress on the towing eyelet
and towing cable or chain, and result in
breaking of the eyelet or the chain.
• If the engine is not running, the power
assist for the steering & brakes will not
work and it will be much harder than
usual.
Note
Use only a cable or chain
specifically intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing eyelets provided.
Note
Do not tow with sling type truck,
either from the front or rear. Doing so
may cause body damage.
