WARNING!
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it
started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic
converter and, once the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS Ð IF EQUIPPED
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they will be
mounted in the front of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a
vehicle stranded off road. Do not use tow hooks for
tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could
damage your vehicle.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
hooks. Tow straps and chains may break, causing
serious injury.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
The manufacturer recommends towing with all four
wheels off the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the
vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised
and the other end on a towing dolly.
