When trouble arises

If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be

for 80 km (50 miles) at low speeds.

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. 419)

Remove the eyelet cover by

turning.

Insert the towing eyelet into the

hole and tighten partially by

hand.
