PRECAUTIONS WHEN TOWING
FULL±TIME 4WD VEHICLES
1. Use one of the methods shown below to tow the vehicle.
2. When there is trouble with the chassis and drivetrain, use
method [1] (flat bed truck) or method T (sling type tow
truck with doilies)
3. Recommended Methods: No. [1], [2], or [3]
Emergency Method: No. [4]
During towing with this towing method, there is a danger of the drivetrain
heating up and causing breakdown, or of the front wheels flying off the dolly.
HINT: Do not use any towing methods other than those shown above.
For example, the towing method shown below is dangerous, so do not use it
HINT: Do not tow the vehicle at a speed
faster than 18 mph (30 km/h) or a distance
greater than 50 miles (80 km). Free or
