VEHICLE TOWING
WARNING
The tow hook is meant for vehicle recovery or as a winching point for
a wrecker. Do not use the tow hook to tow the vehicle on the road.
Loss of vehicle control may occur, resulting in injury or damage to
both vehicles.
Do not connect a tow rope or chain to any other point on the vehicle
other than the tow hook. Damage to the vehicle may result.
Do not attempt to pull-start the vehicle.

The tool kit contains a tow hook that threads into tow points on the front and rear
of the vehicle. The tow hook is meant to serve as point for vehicle recovery (i.e.
a vehicle stuck in deep mud or snow) or as a winching point for the wreck when
the vehicle becomes disabled.
To access the rear tow point, a small cover must be removed from the bumper.
Use the following tips when towing the vehicle:
Use a wrecker to move/transport a disabled vehicle. A rigid tow bar can
be used if a wrecker is unavailable; provided the wheels on the vehicle
are able to rotate.
Switch the hazard warning signals ‘ON’ when towing the vehicle.
If possible (without causing damage), run the engine to provide steering
and brake assist.
Remove the tow hook and place back in the tool kit when the hook is no
longer needed.
Use only a chain or rope designated for vehicle recovery when towing a
stuck vehicle.
