TOWING
CAUTION: When either towing hooks or chains
are used, always pull the cable or chain straight
from the hook; do not apply any sideways force
to it. To prevent damage, do not take up slack too
quickly in the cable or chain. The rear towing
hook should be used only in an emergency
situation, (e.g., to pull the vehicle from a ditch, a
snowbank, or mud).
WARNING: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH PLASTIC
BUMPER BARS CANNOT BE SAFELY LIFTED
USING CONVENTIONAL CHAINS
OR SLINGS.
THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE FLAT TOWED
OR
TRANSPORTED USING DOLLIES, A FLAT-BED
TRAILER OR TILT-BED VEHICLES.
Towing Precautions
Do not tow the vehicle backward with drive wheels on
the ground. This may damage the transaxle's internal
parts.
Do not tow with J-hooks under any circumstances.
J-hooks will damage driveline and suspension
components.
Towing Slings
To avoid possible damage to bumper system, lower
body panels, or air dams, a special wide-belt sling
should be used to lift and tow this vehicle.
