Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-

Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during tow-

Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
• Before towing, check the reduction
gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a tow-
ing dolly must be used.

•
Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
