the car carrier. If the vehicle is unloaded backwards with engine off
and 1st or 2nd gear selected or the vehicle is unloaded forward with
engine off and reverse gear selected, the vacuum pump (1, Picture I)
and cylinder head parts may become damaged.
GM recommends to unload the vehicle with engine running from
car carrier.
