Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:^ All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
^ It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during towing operation.
Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
^ Attach safety chains for all towing.
^ When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If any unit is damaged, a dolly must be used.
^ When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position and secure the steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place the ignition key in the "LOCK" position. This will result in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
^ When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake and move the gearshift lever to neutral position ("N" position).
^ Never tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
