TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
If you need to tow your vehicle, contact aprofessional towing service or yourroadside assistance service provider.
Your manufacturer produces a towingmanual for all authorized tow truckoperators. Have your tow truck operatorrefer to this manual for proper hook-upand towing procedures.
We recommend the use of a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment to tow yourvehicle. Vehicle damage could occur iftowed incorrectly, or by any other means.
Front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehiclesmust have their designated drive wheelsoff the ground regardless of towingdirection. Use tow dollies to preventdamage to the transmission.
All-wheel or four-wheel drive vehiclesrequire that all wheels be off the groundusing a wheel lift and dollies or flatbedequipment. This prevents damage to thetransmission and drive system.
Note:You need to switch on the ignition tounlock the steering.
Note:Make sure you check the steeringcolumn before towing. It could lock if thebattery is dead.
