Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
{
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should be towed on a flatbed car
carrier. Use care when there is
low ground clearance and/or
special equipment. Attempting to
pull the vehicle onto a flatbed
without following the proper steps
could damage the vehicle.
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
See
.
To load a vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier:
1. The vehicle must be on a flat
surface.
2. The front tires must be properly
inflated. If necessary, move a
rear tire to the front to replace a
flat or damaged tire.
3. Place a 1.2 m (4 ft) X 102 mm
(4 in) X 102 mm (4 in) wood
beam (4) under the front cradle
crossmember (3), and on top of
both tow chains (5) to ensure the
tow chains do not come into
contact with the front fascia (1).
Try to minimize the contact of
the chains with the flexible
air dam (2).
4. Ramps (2) are required for the
front fascia (3) to clear the
flatbed (1). The ramp height
should be approximately 102 mm
(4 in). Lower the flatbed onto the
set of ramps.
{
Caution
If ramps are not used, the front
fascia will come into contact with
the flatbed and may cause
damage. Always use ramps.
