EMERGENCY TOWING

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service.

• Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the below procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine, the vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed tow truck.
• Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
• It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 80 km (50 miles), and keep the vehicle speed below 55 km/h (35 mph). (Except loading on a flat-bed tow truck)

Emergency Towing There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

• The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the flat-bed tow truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the flat-bed tow truck.
• Be sure to reinstall the rubber plugs after use.

• To avoid damage to the vehicle, use the towing hook for straight flat ground towing only. Do not tow on an angle.
