Towing
If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional tow-
ing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehi-
cle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle:
Flat-bed Equipment — The operator loads the vehicle on
the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the
vehicle.
Wheel Lift Equipment — The tow truck uses two pivoting
arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lifts them
off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the
ground.
Sling-type Equipment — The tow truck uses metal cables
with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of
the frame or suspension and the cables lift that end of
the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and
body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing
is attempted.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, it should
be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If due to
damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front
wheels on the ground, do the following:
Release the parking brake.
Start the engine.
Shift to position, then position.
Turn off the engine.
CAUTION:
Improper towing preparation will damage the trans-
mission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you
cannot shift the transmission or start the engine, the
vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed.
It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles
(80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).
Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle's weight.
