Towing the Vehicle

Caution

Incorrectly towing a disabled

vehicle may cause damage. The

damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Do not lash or hook to suspension components. Use the proper straps around the tires to secure the

vehicle.


Use only a flatbed tow truck for

towing a disabled vehicle. Never use a sling type lift or damage will occur.

Use ramps to help reduce approach angles if necessary. A towed vehicle should have its drive wheels off the

ground. Consult a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed.

If the vehicle is equipped with a tow eye, only use the tow eye to pull the

vehicle onto a flatbed car carrier from a flat road surface. Do not use the tow eye to pull the vehicle from snow,

mud, or sand.
