Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual page 201

To protect both vehicles when tow-starting or towing, the tow rope should be
■
elastic. Thus one should only use plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a simi-
larly elastic material.
One should be constantly vigilant not to allow impermissibly high towing forces
■
or jerky loadings. There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage result-
ing at the points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt
to tow a vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar to the towing eyes or to the detachable ball
■
head of the towing device » page 199
Note
We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories available
■
from a ŠKODA Service Partner.
Towing another vehicle requires a certain amount of practice. Both drivers
■
should be familiar with the particular points about towing a vehicle. Unskilled
drivers should not attempt to tow in another vehicle or to be towed in.
When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those which re-
■
late to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed.
The tow rope must not be twisted as it may in certain circumstances result in
■
the front towing eye being unscrewed out of your vehicle.
