Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive stress on
the emergency towing hook and the cables or chains. Always be cautious of the
surroundings and other vehicles while towing. ●
If the engine is not running, the power assi st for the brakes and steering will not
function, making steering and braking more difficult.

Never tow this vehicle with the wheels on the ground. ●
Use only the front emergency towing hook or towing eyelets when towing your
vehicle.

in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pe dal with both feet and firmly
depress it. Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the
effort required to slow the vehicle.
