CAUTION!

Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the
vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS

• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front and the rear.

NOTE: For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to
minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.

WARNING!

• Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck vehicle. Chains may break, causing

serious injury or death.

• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. Tow straps and chains may

break, causing serious injury.

CAUTION!

Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded off-road. Do not
use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could damage your
vehicle. Tow straps are recommended when towing the vehicle; chains may cause
vehicle damage.
