correctly, damage to other vehicle parts can
occur. There is risk of property damage. Cor‐
rectly attach the tow bar or tow rope to the tow

pending on local regulations.▷If the electrical system has failed, clearly
identify the vehicle being towed by placing

side on both vehicles.
Should it prove impossible to avoid mounting

that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses
on the vehicle components when towing, al‐
ways use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
