Recovery strap - if equipped

Your vehicle may be included with a recovery strap.

Recovery straps do not act like traditional tow straps, chains, or winch cables.

Only attach recovery straps to OE recommended anchor points or emergency towing anchor points. Never attach to tow ball or vehicle tie down point, these are not designed for this purpose.
