40 Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not lash
or hook to suspension
components. Use the proper
straps around the tires to secure
the vehicle. Do not drag a locked
wheel/tire while loading the
vehicle. Do not use a sling type
lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
GM recommends a flatbed tow truck
to transport a disabled vehicle. Use
ramps to help reduce approach
angles, if necessary. A towed
vehicle should have its drive wheels
off the ground. Contact Roadside
Assistance or a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed. To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see
the owner
’s manual.SS 1LE, and ZL1 Only
Due to low ramp angles on ZL1 and
SS 1LE vehicles, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier. Front spring spacers are
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
ZL1 1LE Only
Due to the high spring rate and
spring design used on ZL1 1LE
vehicles, spring spacers are not
provided. If more clearance is
needed when towing, raise the
adjustable spring seat to lift the front
suspension. See "Strut Spring Seat
Adjustment" in Track Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
Tow Eye Socket
The ZL1 vehicle is equipped with a
front tow eye that can be used to
pull the vehicle onto a flatbed car
carrier from a flat road surface. Do
not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from snow, mud, or sand.
The tow eye is in the rear
compartment storage area.
To install the tow eye:
1. Locate the tow eye socket through the opening in the
grille.
2. Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise
until it stops.
