When trouble arises
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
If your vehicle is transported by a 
flatbed truck, it should be tied 
down at the locations shown in the 
illustration. 
If you use chains or cables to tie 
down your vehicle, the angles 
shaded in black must be 45°. 
Do not overly tighten the tie 
downs or the vehicle may be dam- 
aged. 
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be 
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency 
towing eyelets. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads 
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at under 30 km/h (18 mph).  
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The 
vehicle’s wheels, drivetrain, axles, steering and brakes must be in 
good condition. 
For vehicles with a Multidrive, only the front towing eyelets may be 
used.
