If your vehicle needs to be towed,

call a professional towing service or,

ifyoubelongtoone,anorganization

that provides roadside assistance.

Never tow your vehicle behind

another vehicle with just a rope or

chain. It is very dangerous.

There are three popular types of

professional towing equipment.

The operator

loads your vehicle on the back of a

truck.

Any other

method of towing will damage the

drive system. When you contact the

towing agency, inform them that a

flat-bed is required.

The tow

truck uses two pivoting arms that go

under the tires (front or rear) and lift

them off the ground. The other two

tires remain on the ground.

Refer to

on page

for non-emergency towing

information.

The tow

truck uses metal cables with hooks

on the ends. These hooks go around

parts of the frame or suspension and

cables lift that end of the vehicle off

the ground. Your vehicle’s

suspension and body can be

seriously damaged.
