Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle :
| – |
The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck. This is best way of transporting the vehicle. |
| – |
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires of the driving axle and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. |
| – |
The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted. |
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, should be towed with the wheels of the driving axle off the ground and do the following :
Manual Transaxle

Release the parking brake. |
| • |
Shift the Transaxle to neutral |
Automatic Transaxle
