Towing Information: Service and Repair

TOWING

-

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.

-

A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheel (front wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.

-

When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.

CAUTION:

-

Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION:

-

Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Vehicle Securing Position

-

When transporting the vehicle by flat bed tow truck or trailer, secure the vehicle to the trailer using the holes and left tie-down loop shown in the
figure.
