Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not lash or hook to suspension components. Use the proper straps around the tires to secure the
vehicle.
Use only a flatbed tow truck for
towing a disabled vehicle. Never use a sling type lift or damage will occur.
Use ramps to help reduce approach angles if necessary. A towed vehicle should have its drive wheels off the
ground. Consult a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed.
If the vehicle is equipped with a tow eye, only use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle onto a flatbed car carrier from a flat road surface. Do not use the tow eye to pull the vehicle from snow,
mud, or sand.
Caution
Improper use of the tow eye can
cause vehicle damage. Use caution and low speeds to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Front Attachment Point
Carefully open the cover in the fascia
by using the small notch that conceals the tow eye socket.
VEHICLE CARE 385
Install the tow eye into the socket and turn it until it is fully tightened. When the tow eye is removed, reinstall the
cover with the notch in the original position.
