WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use
only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following equipment
manufacturer' s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or associated
brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
• Do not use sling-type equipment when towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear sus-
pension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defroster, etc.) while being towed, the key must
be in the ON/RUN position.
