as vehicles being towed are subject to
regulations regarding maximum towing
speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.

times above normal and greater steering
effort must be exerted.
•The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or
for any similar purpose involving severe
strain.
•Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the
