Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle’s weight.

Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.
Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.
Make sure the parking brake is released. If you
cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must
be transported by the flatbed equipment. 2 Parking Brake P. 528
