Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
■ Flat bed equipment
The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
■ Wheel lift equipment
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them
off
the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
NOTICE
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission.
Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift from side to side or break.
