WRECKER TOWING
The recommended method to tow
your vehicle is with flatbed or
wheel lift equipment. However,
slingbelt towing is acceptable. On
vehicles equipped with an air dam,
the towbar will deform the rubber
air dam.
Never use a tow bar that
attaches to the bumper
when you tow your vehicle. This
could damage the bumper and
cause an accident.
