Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.

cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle’s weight.
NOTICE
Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
