Hauling a Load
(if Equipped with Hitch)
Never pull a load by attaching it to the
bumper or rear cargo area; this can
cause the vehicle to tip over. Use only
the trailer hitch (if installed) to pull a
load.
In an emergency situation, use the re-
covery hook to recover a stuck vehicle.
When pulling loads with a chain or ca-
ble, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while
pulling.
When pulling loads with a chain or ca-
ble, be sure to brake progressively.
The inertia of the load could lead to an
impact.
