394 VEHICLE CARE
Contact a professional towing service
if the disabled vehicle must be
transported. GM recommends a
flatbed tow truck to transport a
disabled vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles, if necessary.
If equipped, a tow eye may be located
near the spare tire or emergency jack.
Do not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may have
right or left-hand threads. Use caution
when installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in N (Neutral)
and the electric parking brake must be
released when loading the vehicle
onto a flatbed tow truck.
.If the vehicle is equipped with car
wash mode and has 12-volt battery
power, refer to“Car Wash Mode ”
under Automatic Transmission
(Mechanical Shifter) 0242 or
Automatic Transmission (Electronic
Shifter) 0244 to place the vehicle in
N (Neutral).
.If the 12-volt battery is dead and/or
the engine will not start, the vehicle
will not move. Try to jump start the
vehicle. Refer to Jump Starting -
North America 0390 and if the
jump start is successful, retry the
“Car Wash Mode ”procedure.
.If jump starting is unsuccessful, the
vehicle will not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under the
non-rolling tires to prevent vehicle
damage.
V-Series Blackwing Only
Due to low ramp angles on the
V-Series Blackwing, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed carrier. Front spring spacers were
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
Front Tow Eye
The vehicle is equipped with a tow
eye. Only use the tow eye 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 located
under the carpet in the trunk.
Carefully open the cover in the fascia
by using the small notch that conceals
the tow eye socket.
