Transporting a
Disabled Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly transporting a

proper tire straps to secure
the vehicle to the flatbed
tow truck. Do not strap or
hook to any frame,
underbody, or suspension
component not specified
below. Do not move vehicles
with drive axle tires on the
ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with an electric parking
brake and/or an electronic
shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the
electric parking brake
cannot be released, and the
vehicle cannot be shifted to
N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent damage while
loading/unloading the
vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with a tow eye. Improper use
of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. If equipped, use(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
the tow eye to load the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck from a flat road
surface, or to move the
vehicle a very short distance
at a walking pace. The tow
eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.
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
0 277 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
0 452 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.
