Towing
Your
Vehicle
Try to have
a
GM
dealer or a professional towing service tow your vehicle.
They can provide the right equipment and know how to tow
it
without
damage.
If your vehicle has been changed
or
modified since
it
was factory-new by
adding aftermarket items like fog lamps, aero skirting, or special tires and
wheels, these things can be damaged during towing.
Before
you
do anything, turn
on
the hazard warning flashers.
When
you
call, tell the towing service:
0
Whether your vehicle has rear-wheel drive or the all-wheel-drive
option. If your vehicle has fog lamps, it cannot be towed from the front
with sling-type equipment.
The make, model, and year of your vehicle.
0
Whether you can still move the shift lever.
0
If
there was an accident, what was damaged.
When your vehicle
is
being towed, have
the
ignition
key
off. 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
transmission should be
in
NEUTRAL
(N)
and the
parking brake released.
