When using a tow eye, be sure to follow the “Tow Eye
Usage Precautions” in this section.
Tow Eye Usage Precautions
The transmission must be in NEUTRAL when flat
towing this vehicle. The ignition must be ON in order to
place the transmission in NEUTRAL. Therefore, if the
key is unavailable or the battery is discharged, this
vehicle must be towed with all four wheels OFF the
ground (using a vehicle trailer or flatbed truck).
•Ensure that the tow eye is properly seated and secure
in the mounting receptacle. •
The tow eye is recommended for use with an ap-
proved tow bar and or rope.
• Do not use the tow eye to pull the vehicle onto a
flatbed truck.
• Do not use the tow eye to free a stuck vehicle.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow eyes.
•Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains may
break, causing serious injury or death.
• Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye. Tow straps
may break or become disengaged, causing serious
injury or death.
• Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may cause
components to break resulting in serious injury
or death.

CAUTION!
•The tow eye must be used exclusively for road-
side assistance operations. Only use the tow eye
with an appropriate device in accordance with the
highway code (a rigid bar or rope) to flat tow the
vehicle for a short distance to the nearest service
location.
• Tow eyes MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off
the road or where there are obstacles.
• In compliance with the above conditions, towing
with a tow eye must take place with two vehicles
(one towing, the other towed) aligned as much as
possible along the same center line. Damage to
your vehicle may occur if these guidelines are not
followed.
• When towing, only use a facility that can tow
vehicles with low ground clearances as extensive
damage can result by using a standard tow truck
platform.
