Do not tie down the vehicle at an
angle that would allow the towing
cables to contact the vehicle's front
bumper. To avoid possible damage,
protect the front bumper with tape.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front spoiler, remove it before
towing so it is not damaged.
Trying to lif t or tow your vehicle by the
bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to
support the vehicle's weight.
The steering system can be damaged if
the steering wheel is locked. Leave the
ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I)
position, and make sure the steering
wheel turns f reely bef ore you begin
towing.
