CAUTION
• A driver must be present 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 manoeuvers, 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 and
brakes will not work and it will be
much harder than usual.
NOTICE
• U s e o n l y a c a b l e o r c h a i n
specifically intended for use in
towing vehicles. Securely fasten the
cable or chain to the towing eyelets
provided.
• Do not tow with sling type truck,
either from the front or rear. Doing
so may cause body damage.
