WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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 disen-
gaged, causing serious injury or death.
• Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may cause components to break resulting
in serious injury or death.
• The tow eye must be used exclusively for roadside assistance operations. Only use
the tow eye with an appropriate device in accordance with the highway code (a
rigid bar or rope) to flat tow the vehicle for a short distance to the nearest ser-
vice location.
• Tow eyes MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where there are
obstacles.
• In compliance with the above conditions, towing with a tow eye must take place
with two vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same center line. Damage to your vehicle may occur if these guidelines are
not followed.
