jumper cables in the correct order,

suspension components. Use the
proper straps around the tires to
secure the vehicle.
Use only a flatbed tow truck for
towing a disabled vehicle. Never
use a sling type lift or damage will
occur. Use ramps to help reduce
approach angles if necessary.
A towed vehicle should have its
drive wheels off the ground.
Consult a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed. For Camaro High Performance
models, see the Camaro High
Performance supplement.

vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see

The tow eye is located underneath
the load floor, near the spare tire or
the compressor kit, if equipped.
