The brake servo and the power steering pump do not operate unless the engine is running. Press the brake pedal harder and allow for increased stopping distances and heavier steering.
CAUTIONS:
Too much tension in the tow rope could cause damage to your vehicle or the vehicle that is towing.
Do not use a rigid tow bar on the front towing eye.
Drive off slowly and smoothly without jerking the vehicle that is towing.
