If a tow truck is not available in 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 80 km (50 miles) at under 30 km/h (18 mph).  
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. 
Take out the towing eyelet. ( P. 429, 443) 
Push the lower left of the eyelet 
cover and then open it.

hole and tighten partially by 
hand. 
Tighten down the towing eyelet 
securely using a wheel bolt 
wrench or hard metal bar.
