Crash and Breakdown Information

All-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles

TRANSPORTINGTHEVEHICLE

require that all wheels be off the ground

using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed

equipment. This prevents damage to the

transmission and drive system.

Note: You need to switch on the ignition to

unlock the steering.

Note: Make sure you check the steering

column before towing. It could lock if the

battery is dead.

E143886

If you need to tow your vehicle, contact a

professional towing service or your

roadside assistance service provider.

Your manufacturer produces a towing

manual for all authorized tow truck

operators. Have your tow truck operator

refer to this manual for proper hook-up

and towing procedures.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift and

dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your

vehicle. Vehicle damage could occur if

towed incorrectly, or by any other means.

Front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles

must have their designated drive wheels

off the ground regardless of towing

direction. Use tow dollies to prevent

damage to the transmission.
