General Information: Notices: Note: Towing

Avoid towing vehicles except when the vehicle cannot be driven. For models with AWD, AT or VTD, use a loader instead of towing. When towing other vehicles, pay attention to the following to prevent hook or vehicle damage resulting from excessive weight.

• Do not install the hook except when towing.
• Do not tow other vehicles with a front tie-down hook.
• Make sure the vehicle towing is heavier than the vehicle being towed.
