Handling the Unexpected
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
■Wheel lift equipment
The tow truck uses two pivoti ng 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.

cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
