Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-
cle in a slow and gradual mannerwhile maintaining tension on the
tow rope or chain to start or drive
the vehicle, otherwise tow hooks
and the vehicle may be damaged.To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to pull a vehicle out of mud, sand
or other conditions from which
the vehicle cannot be driven out
under its own power.
Limit the vehicle speed to 15 km/h (10 mph) and drive less
than 1.5 km (1 mile) when towing
