TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE  

This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service. If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, 

disabled vehicles may also be towed as described on  

Ú

page 222.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, 

following equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main structural members 

of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumpers or associated brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC position.
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK (P) in order to move the vehicle
