●

Do not tow the vehicle from the rear with the power switch off. The steering lock

mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.

●

When raising the vehicle from the rear, ensure adequate ground clearance for

towing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clearance, the

vehicle could be damaged while being towed from the rear.
