If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or
organization. Never tow your vehicle
with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.
If, due to damage, your vehicle must
be towed with the front wheels on
the ground, do the following:
Release the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to Neutral.
With the front wheels on the ground,
it is best to tow the vehicle no farther
than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the
speedbelow35mph(55km/h).
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front spoiler, remove it before
towing so it is not damaged.
Turn off the engine.

Start the engine.
Release the parking brake.
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.
The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.
