Tow Eye Usage Precautions
CAUTION!
•
The tow eye must only be used for roadside emer-
gencies. Use with an appropriate device in accor-
dance with highway code (a rigid bar) to maneuver
the vehicle in preparation for transport via a tow
truck.
•
The tow eye must not be used to move the vehicle
off the road or where there are obstacles.
•
Do not use the tow eyes for tow truck hookup or
highway towing.
•
Do not use the tow eye to free a stuck vehicle
page 208.
•
Damage to your vehicle may occur if these guide-
lines are not followed
page 209.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow eyes.
•
Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains may
break, causing serious injury or death.
•
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye. Tow straps
may break or become disengaged, causing serious
injury or death.
•
Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may cause
components to break resulting in serious injury or
death.
•
Before tightening the tow-eye, clean the threaded
housing thoroughly. Make sure that the tow-eye is
fully fastened in the housing before towing a dis-
abled vehicle.
•
For BEV vehicles, NEVER tow a disabled vehicle
with two or four wheels on the road. Risk of dam-
aging the motor and fire hazard. It is imperative
that the vehicle is towed by a tow truck.
•
For BEV vehicles, in the case of a discharged high
voltage battery and a discharged 12V battery,
NEVER tow the disabled vehicle. Transport it on a
tow truck and contact a Ram Dealership.
•
For BEV vehicles, it is permitted to tow for short
distances at a speed not exceeding 5 mph using a
special device conforming to the Highway Code
(rigid bar) and ONLY for preparation for transport
by tow truck, keeping the disable vehicle aligned
on the same centerline as the tow truck.
•
For BEV vehicles, the tow eye MUST NOT be used
to tow cars off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations using
cables or other non-rigid devices.
TOW EYE INSTALLATION
The front tow eye receptacle is located behind a door
on the passenger’s side of the fascia/bumper.
To install the tow eye, open the door using the vehicle
key or a small screwdriver. Thread the tow eye into the
receptacle, making sure it is fully tightened.
The tow eye must be securely seated to the attaching
bracket through the lower front fascia/bumper. If the
tow eye is not securely seated to the attaching bracket,
the vehicle should not be moved.
