436 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Recovery Strap — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be included with a recovery strap.
Recovery straps do not act like traditional tow straps, chains,
or winch cables.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if the
remaining wheels are on the ground). Internal damage
to the transmission or power transfer unit will occur if
a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above require-
ments can cause severe transmission and/or power
transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
Recovery straps should only be used in emergencies to
rescue stranded vehicles. Only use Recovery straps on
vehicles that fit within the recommended GVW of your
recovery strap. Only attach recovery straps to OE
recommended anchor points or emergency towing
anchor points. Never attach to tow ball or vehicle tie
down point, these are not designed for this purpose.
Never attach to vehicle steering, drive train, or any other
suspension components. NEVER pull a strap over sharp
edges or abrasive surfaces that can damage the recovery
strap. NEVER use a damaged strap, it has reduced
strength. DO NOT attempt to repair straps. ONLY
persons involved in the recovery should be in either
vehicle. No passengers. Anyone inside the vehicles can
be struck by strap recoil, causing serious injury. MOVE
bystanders at least 40 ft (12.2 m) from the recovery area
when using the recovery strap.
