Never tow a vehicle to start it:
Towing a vehicle to start it is dangerous.

be injured.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a

Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.
Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.

Always tow a 4WD vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground:
Towing a 4WD vehicle with either the front
or rear wheels on the ground is dangerous
as the drive train could be damaged, or the
vehicle could trail away from the tow truck
and cause an accident. If the drive train has
been damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.

¾Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or
flatbed equipment.
¾If the parking brake cannot be released
when towing the vehicle, transport the
vehicle with all front and rear wheels
raised
off the ground as shown in the
figure. If the vehicle is towed without
raising the wheels
off the ground, the
brake system could be damaged.

¾The towing eyelet should be used in an
emergency (to get the vehicle out of a
ditch or a snow bank, for example).
¾When using the towing eyelets, always
pull the lead or chain in a straight

apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap the
chain or lead with a soft cloth near the
bumper to prevent damage to the bumper.
