When trouble arises

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. 534, 556)

Remove the eyelet cover using

a flathead screwdriver.

To prevent damage, cover the tip of

the screwdriver with a rag.

Insert the towing eyelet into the

hole and tighten partially by

hand.
