Shift Lever Override; Tow Eyes - Jeep 2011 WK2 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
Accessories that can be plugged into the
vehicle power outlets draw power from the
vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle's battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

TOW EYES

Your vehicle is equipped with tow eyes, which
are mounted in the front and the rear.
CAUTION!
Tow eyes are for emergency use only, to
rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not use
tow eyes for tow truck hookup or highway
towing. You could damage your vehicle. Tow
straps are recommended when towing the
vehicle; chains may cause vehicle damage.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
eyes. Tow straps and chains may break, caus-
ing serious injury.
