[A] Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary, we
recommend having it done by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products or a commercial tow-truck
service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures are
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
For 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the front wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the rear
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used, the
rear of the vehicle should always be lifted,
not the front.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
NOTICE
• Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
• An AWD vehicle should never be towed
with the wheels on the ground. This can
cause serious damage to the
transmission or the AWD system.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground as this may cause
damage to the vehicle.
OJK081011N
• Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
