Towing Information: Service and Repair
Front

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the vehicle.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lifts them off the ground. The other two tires
remain on the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension and the cables
lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted. This
method of towing the CR-V is unacceptable.
The only recommended way of towing the CR-V is on a flat-bed truck. Two wheel drive CR-V's may also be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
NOTE: Towing the four-wheel drive CR-V with only two wheels on the ground will damage parts of the 4WD system. If this vehicle is damaged, it
should be towed on a flat-bed truck or trailer.
If the 2 wheel drive CR-V is towed with all four wheels on the ground, do the following:
