method. However, if it is necessary to recover
the vehicle by towing with all four wheels on the
ground, following the procedure for towing the
vehicle on four wheels, (see ‘TOWING THE
VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS’, page 246)
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS
WARNING
ALWAYS adhere to the following procedure
when towing the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground. Failure to do so could result in
unintended vehicle movement or
unanticipated vehicle conditions.
When preparing to tow the vehicle on four
wheels, it is essential that neutral is selected
on the transfer gearbox - before attempting to
select transfer neutral, ensure that the

recovery purposes only and must NOT be used
to tow a trailer.
Front
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A single towing eye, set behind a removable
panel in the front spoiler is provided at the front
of the vehicle for on-road recovery.
Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel
drive and is fitted with a steering lock. The
following instructions must be carried out
carefully to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Before driving off-road, remove the panel from
the spoiler as a precaution against accidental
loss.
CAUTION: Leaving the starter switch in
position ‘I’ or ‘II’ for extended periods will
put a draw on the battery, which can lead to
a voltage drop and ultimately to a
discharged battery.
Removing the panel: Using both hands, one
either side of the towing eye, squeeze the cover
and pull away from the vehicle. To replace the
cover, push it firmly back into position.
