Towing Information: Service and Repair

TOWING

-

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

-

A towed vehicle usually should have its rear wheels off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel doilies.

CAUTION:  Do not tow the vehicle pointed forward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the
transmission.

CAUTION:  Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flat bed equipment.

Tiedown Hooks

CAUTION:  Do not use the tiedown hooks under the front and rear for towing. They are designed ONLY for tying down the vehicle
when it's being transported. Using them for towing will damage the bumper.

1. Remove the tiedown eyelet from trunk.
2. Wrap a screwdriver or similar tool with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the painted bumper and open the cap located on the front bumper.
