Keep the vehicles in line and avoid
towing at an offset angle. Ensure

that the towing strap connecting the
two vehicles is tight, with no slack,
before starting off.

Use only a nylon towing strap to tow
the vehicle, since the inherent resil-
ience of this material helps protect both
vehicles from sudden jerking move-
ments.

The towed vehicle should always
be the lighter of the two vehicles.

If this is not the case, it will not be pos-
sible to control vehicle handling.

Never attempt to use your vehicle to
push another vehicle, since damage to
the energy-absorbing bumpers could
result.
