EMERGENCIES

Towing

Your vehicle comes with a front welded tow hook and a rear
towing eyelet where a tow hook can be screwed in. The front
tow hook should be used when the vehicle needs towing, and
the rear tow hook should be used when your vehicle is utilized
for towing other vehicles.
Towing your Vehicle during Emergency
If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing
service. If a towing service is unavailable in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook welded into the front
cradle assembly of the vehicle.
