332 Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
Proper equipment must be used to
prevent damage to vehicles during
any towing. State and local laws
which apply to vehicles in tow must
be followed. Vehicles should not be
towed at speeds in excess of
88 km/h (55 mph).
Connect to the main structural parts
of the vehicle. Do not attach to
bumpers, tow hooks or brackets.
Use only equipment designed for
this purpose. Follow the instructions
of the wrecker manufacturer.
A safety chain system must
be used.
The procedures below must be
followed when towing to prevent
possible damage.Front End Towing (Front Wheels
Off Ground)
To prepare a disabled vehicle for
front end towing with front wheels
raised off theground, the following
steps are necessary:
.
Block the rear wheels of the
disabled vehicle.
. For gasoline vehicles, move the
selector lever into "N" position,
vehicles can be towed at speeds
below 48 km/h (30 mph) and up
to distances less than
80 km (50 mi).
. Disconnect the driveshaft at the
rear axle. Secure the driveshaft
to the frame or crossmember.
When towing, disconnect the
driveshaft at the rear axle to ensure
the transmission is not damaged.
The rear end of the driveshaft must
be disconnected and safely secured
if the 80 km (50 mi) or 48 km/h
(30 mph) is exceeded. If there is damage or suspected
damage to the rear axle, remove the
axle shafts. Cover the hub openings
to prevent the loss of lubricant or
entry of dirt or foreign objects.
Place a 10 cm (4 in) wood beam
against the towing guide behind the
bumper. (If no 10 cm (4 in) is
available, then remove the bumper.)
Ensure towing chains do not come
into contact with the horns or the
bumper. (If towing chains contact
the bumper, then remove the
bumper.)
