A
CAUTION:
A
vehicle can fall from a car-carrier
if
it isn’t
adequately secured. This can cause a collision,
serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The
vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or
steel cables before
it
is transported.
Don’t use substitutes (ropes, leather straps,
canvas webbing, etc.) that can be cut by sharp
edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use
T-hooks inserted in the T-hook slots. Never use
J-hooks.
They
will
damage drivetrain and
suspension components.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
in the
OFF
position. The steering wheel should be
clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping
device designed for towing service. Do not use the
vehicle’s steering column lock for
this.
The transaxle
should be in
NEUTRAL
(N)
and the parking
brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels,
unless you must.
If
the vehicle must be towed on the
drive wheels, be sure to follow the speed and distance
restrictions later in this section or your transaxle will be
damaged. If these limitations must be exceeded, then the
drive wheels have
to
be supported on a dolly.
