equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
Precautions when moving a
Short Distance before Towing a
Vehicle

m) at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less
only when loading on a tow truck of if the
vehicle needs to be repositioned. At this
time, the gear must be in the ‘N’(neutral)
position and the parking brake must be
released. If it is impossible to operate the
transmission and parking brake, move
the vehicle with the rear wheel lifted.
NOTICE

or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the rear of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the front.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
