If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or,
ifyoubelongtoone,anorganization
that provides roadside assistance.
Never tow your vehicle behind
another vehicle with just a rope or
chain. It is very dangerous.
There are three popular types of
professional towing equipment.
The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.
Any other
method of towing will damage the
drive system. When you contact the
towing agency, inform them that a
flat-bed is required.
The tow
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (front or rear) and lift
them off the ground. The other two
tires remain on the ground.
Refer to
on page
for non-emergency towing
information.
The tow
truck uses metal cables with hooks
on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and
cables lift that end of the vehicle off
the ground. Your vehicle’s
suspension and body can be
seriously damaged.
