If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
CAUTION
If the towing eyelet is not securely
tightened, it may loosen or disengage
from the bumper when towing the
vehicle. Make sure that the towing
eyelet is securely tightened to the
bumper.
Be careful not to damage the towing
eyelet and towing hook, vehicle
body, or transmission system
when towing under the following
conditions:
Do not tow a vehicle heavier than
yours.
Do not suddenly accelerate your
vehicle as it will apply a severe
shock to the towing eyelet and
towing hook or rope.
Do not attach any rope other than
to the towing eyelet and towing
hook.
