With a tow rope
Tow-starting
When starting off in the towing vehicle, make
sure that the tow rope is taut.
Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi-
ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to
page 247.
To avoid jerking and the associated
stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as
attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could
result in damage.<
