222 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Tow Eye Usage Precautions
WARNING!
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 disengaged, causing serious
injury or death.
 Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may cause
components to break resulting in serious injury or
death.
 The brake and steering power assist systems will not
function while the vehicle is being towed. You will,
therefore, need to apply more force on the brake
pedal and steering wheel. Do not use flexible ropes
when towing, and avoid jerky movements. Do not
start the engine while towing the car. Before tight-
ening the ring, clean the threaded housing thor-
oughly. Make sure that the ring is fully screwed into
the housing before towing the car.
CAUTION!
 The tow eye must only be used for roadside emergen-
cies. Use with an appropriate device in accordance with
highway code (a rigid bar or rope) to maneuver the
vehicle in preparation for transport via a tow truck.
 The tow eye must not be used to move the vehicle off
the road or where there are obstacles.
 Do not use the tow eyes for tow truck hookup or highway
towing.
 Do not use the tow eye to free a stuck vehicle
page 219.

 Damage to your vehicle may occur if these guidelines
are not followed page 220.
