General Information: Towing: Notes

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle with a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the only recommended way of transporting the vehicle.

To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hooks, front tie down slots (A), and rear tie down hook slots (B).

The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.

NOTE: The tie down hook slots use rubber plugs (C) to cover the openings.
