When trouble arises
an emergency, your vehicle may 
be temporarily towed using 
cables or chains secured to the 
emergency towing eyelets. This 
should only be attempted on 
hard surfaced roads for at most 
50 miles (80 km) at under 18 
mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to 
steer and operate the brakes. 
The vehicle’s wheels, drive train, 
axles, steering and brakes must 
be in good condition.
Only the front towing eyelets 
may be used.
To have your vehicle towed by 
another vehicle, the towing eye-
let must be installed to your 
vehicle. Install the towing eyelet 
using the following procedure.
1Take out the wheel nut 
wrench, flathead screwdriver 
and towing eyelet. ( P.336, 
347)
2 Remove the eyelet cover 
using a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bod ywork, place a 
rag between the screwdriver and 
the vehicle body as shown in the  illustration.
3
Insert the towing eyelet into 
the hole and tighten partially 
by hand.
4 Tighten down the towing eye-
let securely using a wheel nut 
wrench or hard metal bar.
5 Securely attach cables or 
chains to the towing eyelet.
