Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position, and
subsequently in OFF/LOCK, without opening the
door. During towing, remember that not having
the aid of the power brakes and the electrome-
chanical power steering will require greater
force when applying the brakes and steering of
the vehicle.
TOW EYE USAGE IF EQUIPPED

be used to move a disabled vehicle.

below.

Tow Eye Usage Precautions
WARNING!
Do not use a chain for freeing a stuck
vehicle. Chains may break, causing serious
injury or death.
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow hooks. Tow straps may become disen-
gaged, causing serious injury.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to res-
cue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not use
tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway
towing. You could damage your vehicle.
CAUTION!
The tow eye must only be used for roadside
emergencies. 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.
