CAUTION Never tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised (with the front wheels on the ground) as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the front wheels. ● If you have to tow the vehicle with four wheels on ground, observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances: ● Speed: Below 30 MPH (50 km/h) ● Distance: Less than 40 miles (65 km) ● Never tow the vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission. ● Do not tow with a sling type truck, either from the front or the rear. It may cause body damage. ● Never utilize the rear tie down brackets or slots to tow another vehicle as this may cause body damage. VEHICLE RECOVERY (freeing a stuck vehicle) ● Tow chains or cables must only be attached to the main structual members of the vehicle. ● Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling systems. ● Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle. ● Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery. ● Stand clear of a stuck vehicle. WARNING Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged. 5-14
