Towing Information: Service and Repair

Towing

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, two of which are recommended and one that is not.

Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the vehicle.

To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with a rear towing hook (A) and rear tie down hook slots (B).

The rear towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the
truck.

NOTE:  The rear tie down hook slots use rubber plugs to cover the openings.

Front Towing Hook Installation

Use the front tow hook for very short distances such as freeing the car, use the detachable towing hook that mounts on the anchor in the front bumper.

NOTE:

-

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

-

The tow hook should not be used to tow the vehicle onto a flat bed. Do not use it as a tie down.
