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.

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.

Make sure the parking brake is released. If you 
cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must 
be transported by the flat bed equipment.
