ing operation. Detailed towing in
formation is available at your
dealer and has been provided to
tow truck operators responsible for
movement of disabled or locked
ve
hicles. State and local laws appli
cable to vehicles in tow must also
be followed.
Your Camaro may be towed on
all four wheels, at speeds of less
than 35 MPH, for distances up to
38
50 miles, provided driveIine, axle
and transmission are otherwise nor
mally operable.
For such towing,
parking brake must be released,
and transmission must be in neu

Safety chains or cables should be
used. Remember that power steer
ing assist will not be available when
engine
is inoperative.
Emergency Starting
• Never tow the car to start
because the surge forward when
the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.
• Engines in vehicles with auto
matic transmissions cannot be
started by pushing the car.
