TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle with a commercial towing service.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent vehicle damage. Use only tow hitches and other equipment designed for this purpose, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. The use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach the tow hook or other towing device to the main structural members of the vehicle, not to the fascia/bumpers or related brackets. State and local laws governing towed vehicles must be observed.

If you need to use accessories (windshield wipers, defroster, etc.) while towing, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position, not ACC.

If the key fob is unavailable or the vehicle battery is discharged, refer to the procedure for shifting the transmission out of PARK.
