Warning: it is strictly forbidden to tow 4WD vehicles using the partial loading method, i.e. by raising one of the vehicle axles.
Towing your vehicle is only permitted using the full load method. None of the vehicle axles should be in contact with the road during vehicle transportation.
In emergency situations, towing the vehicle using towing hooks is permitted.
Caution: Use extreme caution when towing your vehicle. Use only two hooks at a time. Avoid sudden starts and abrupt maneuvers that may place excessive stress on the towing rope or chain. The loops, towing rope, or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage.
Warning: Do not tow your vehicle for long periods of time using a towing rope. Use the towing hooks only to remove a stuck vehicle. Otherwise, your vehicle's transmission may be damaged.
