OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
The recovery agent MUST activate the
Emergency Park Release before towing
commences. This procedure is covered
in a separate publication for service
personnel.
If the towing eyes are to be used for
off-road recovery, it is essential that
off-road driver training covering
recovery techniques is undertaken.
If transmission Neutral (N) is selected
and the engine is then switched off,
the transmission will wait for 10
minutes before automatically selecting
Park (P). At this point, if the Emergency
Park Release has not been activated
and the vehicle is being towed, serious
damage to the transmission will result.
There is also a danger to personal
safety.
Further information regarding off-road
driver training can be found at

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
The recommended method for
recovery/transporting the vehicle is by a trailer
designed for that purpose.
Always use qualified persons to perform
recovery and to make sure the vehicle is secured
correctly.
If the engine cannot be used during
towing, there will be no power
assistance to the braking system. This
will result in a much greater effort to
stop the vehicle and in a greatly
increased stopping distance.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when
moving or towing the vehicle. Death or
serious injury may occur.
If the vehicle's electronics are

disconnected, the steering column
must be unlocked first. It is not
possible to unlock the steering column
with the battery disconnected.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS
Always make sure the steering column
is unlocked prior to recovery.
The vehicle should be recovered with all four
wheels clear of the ground, i.e., on a trailer.
However, if the vehicle cannot be recovered by
using the correct method, in an emergency the
vehicle can be towed on all four wheels for a
short distance. Please adhere to the following
guidelines.
Only tow the vehicle in a forward
direction with all four wheels on the
ground. Towing in a reverse direction or
with only two wheels on the ground, will
cause serious damage to the
transmission.
