9. 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 tow other vehicles with a front tie-down hook.
• Make sure the vehicle towing is heavier than the vehicle being towed.
• Front
Remove the fog light cover (except for OUTBACK model) and hook cover, and then install the hook.
