If your car needs to be towed, call a
prof essional towing service or, if you
belong to one, an organization that
provides roadside assistance. Never
tow your car behind another vehicle
with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.
There are three popular types of
prof essional towing equipment. The tow
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (f ront or rear) and lif t
them of f the ground. The other two
tires remain on the ground. Because
the S2000 sits so low, the body could
come in contact with the ground and
be damaged.
The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.
When you contact the towing agency,
inf orm them that you have an S2000
and that a f lat-bed is required.Wheel L if t Equipment

T his method of
towing is unacceptable.
T his is the only way your
S2000 should be transported.
