Vehicle Towing and Evacuation

Front and Rear Towing Points

The towing points in the front and rear of the vehicle are intended solely for road towing. Using them for any other purpose may result in damage to the vehicle or serious injury.

Before driving off-road, remove the front and rear towing point covers to prevent damage or loss.

Front Towing Point: The front towing point is located in the lower section of the front bumper and is covered by a removable panel.

1. Turn each of the latches 90 degrees counter-clockwise with a coin or similar object to release the lower edge.
2. To remove the panel, lower the top edge and pull the cover forward.
3. To install, ensure the two tabs on the lower edge align with the body panel holes.
4. Secure the cover by turning each fastener 90 degrees clockwise.

Off-Road Vehicle Evacuation

If you intend to use the towing points for off-road evacuation, you must complete an off-road driving course that includes off-road evacuation techniques.

1. Turn each of the latches 90 degrees counter-clockwise with a coin or similar object to release the lower edge.
2. Turn the panel to release the upper hooks.
3. Remove the panel.
4. To install, position the cover and align the four tabs on the upper edge with the body panel holes.
5. To secure the cover, turn the fasteners 90 degrees clockwise.

Towing a Vehicle with All Four Wheels on the Ground

Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel drive and a steering wheel locking system. To avoid vehicle damage, strictly follow these procedures:

Important Safety Notes:

• Do not remove the electronic key from the vehicle, or the steering column will lock.
• If you need to disconnect the battery, you must first unlock the steering column. Once the battery is disconnected, the steering column cannot be unlocked.
• If the engine cannot be started during towing, the brake and power steering assistance will not function. This will require more effort for steering and braking, and the braking distance will significantly increase.
• Towing must be done in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in reverse with two wheels on the ground can cause serious transmission damage.
• Towing should not exceed 50 km (30 miles) at a speed no greater than 50 km/h (30 mph). Exceeding these limits may cause serious damage to the gearbox.
• Do not tow a vehicle if the transmission is not in neutral or if the electronic rear differential is locked.
• Your vehicle has permanent four-wheel drive and a steering wheel locking system. To avoid vehicle damage, strictly follow the procedure below.

Towing Procedure:

1. Attach the towing equipment of the recovery vehicle to the vehicle's towing point.
2. With the parking brake engaged, turn on the ignition.
3. Press the brake pedal and move the gear selector to neutral.
4. Turn off the ignition and place the electronic key in a safe place within the vehicle.
5. The ignition can be turned on to power the indicators, stop lights, etc.
6. Before towing, release the parking brake.
7. Leaving the ignition on for an extended period can drain the battery.
