uations.

To tow your vehicle on the road or highway,

WARNING
• Abrupt maneuvers or failure to
properly secure cargo can allow
the cargo to fly off the vehicle and
hit others, causing personal injury
or property damage.
• Mount cargo securely and avoid
abrupt maneuvers such as “jack-
rabbit” starts, sharp turns, fast cor-
nering and sudden braking. Check
periodically to make sure that
cargo is securely fastened.
• Large, bulky, long, or flat items can
affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive
cautiously at reduced speed when
carrying this type of cargo.

WARNING
Do not use these hooks to tow (or be
towed by) another vehicle on the
road or highway except in emergency
situation.
