Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

■

Flat bed equipment

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

■

Wheel lift equipment

The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off
the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.

1

Emergency Towing

NOTICE

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle’s weight.

NOTICE

Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.

Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.
