8. Towing, Transportation, Storage
The HV system must be switched off before transporting the vehicle.
The VF8 must be fully placed on a tow truck bed for transporting. Set the gear to Neutral (N),
disengage the parking brake, and turn off the vehicle.
When towed, the vehicle must not have any wheels in contact with the road surface. The wheels
must be secured properly using an eight-point tie-down method.
Drive units
The VF8 has two electric drive units: front and rear. The HV battery sends direct current (DC)
energy to the Electric Drive System (EDS) to rotate the wheels.
Wheel rotation can generate electricity in the EDS. This could result in overheating of HV
components or cause further damage. The wheels should be chocked to prevent movement.
Towing
WARNING
Lithium-ion batteries can spontaneously self-ignite. Batteries can reignite after a re has
been suppressed. This can occur several hours after an event that causes damage. Always
wear the appropriate PPE.
