What to do in an emergency
• Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
• Before towing, check the reduction
gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a tow-
ing dolly must be used.

To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
•
Always pull straight ahead
when using the towing hooks.
Do not pull from the side or at
a vertical angle.
•
Do not use the towing hooks
to pull a vehicle out of mud,
OOS067027
sand or other conditions from
which the vehicle cannot be
driven out under its own
power.
•
Limit the vehicle speed to
15 km/h (10 mph) and drive
less than 1.5 km (1 mile) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the reduction gear.
