Attention:
- It is strictly forbidden to tow 4WD vehicles using the partial loading method, i.e. by raising one of the vehicle axles.
- Tow 4WD models only with a rope or full load method.
Caution: Use extreme caution when towing your vehicle. Avoid sudden starts and abrupt maneuvers that may place excessive force on the towing rope. The towing rope may break and cause serious injury or damage.
It is advisable to tow the vehicle in a fully submerged condition. When towing, secure the vehicle using special hooks.
If it is not possible to tow the vehicle while submerged, it is possible to tow the vehicle on wheels.

Traffic regulations of the Russian Federation: warning devices for designating flexible connecting links when towing mechanical vehicles must be made in the form of flags or shields measuring 200x200 mm with diagonally applied red and white alternating stripes 50 mm wide with a reflective surface. At least two warning devices must be installed on a flexible connecting link.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Set the gear shift lever to neutral position.
4. Set the transfer case control lever to the "2H" position and press the "FRW" switch.
5. The ignition key must be in the "ACC" position (the engine is not working) or "ON" (the engine is running).
Note: If the engine is not running, the brake and power steering will also not work, so the effort required to operate the controls will be significantly greater than normal.
5. Use caution when towing a stuck vehicle. Stay clear of vehicles and the towing rope.
