Towing
lf the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional
towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another
vehjcle with just a rope or chain. lt 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 tlvo pivoting
arms that go under the tires lfront or rear) and lifts them
off the ground. The other two tires remain on the
ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be
seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.
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 thjs method of towing
is attempted. This methed of towing the CR-V is
unaccePtable.
The onlv recommended way of towing the CR-V is on a
flat-bed truck. Two wheel drive CR-V's may also be
towed with all four wheels on the ground.
Towing the four-wheel dlive CR-v with only two
wheels on the ground will damage parts of the 4wD
system. It this vehicle is damaged, it should be towed
on a flat-bed truck ol trailel.
It the 2 wheel drive CR-v is towed wiih all tour wheels
on the ground, do the following:
Manual Transmission
. Release the parking brake.
. Shift the transmission in Neutral
Automatic Transmission
. Release the parking brake.
. Sta rt the engine.
. Shift to lD.l position. then E position.
. Turn off the engine.
lmproper towing preparation will damage the
transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. lf
you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine,
the vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed truck.
lf the vchicle is towed with four wheels on the ground,
il is best to tow the vehicle no larther than 50 miles (80
km), and keep the speed below 35 mph {55 km/h).
Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by ihe bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers ale not dosigned
to support the vehicle's weight.
