Towing the Vehicle
Notice:
To avoid damage, the
disabled vehicle should be towed
with all four wheels off the
ground. Care must be taken with
vehicles that have low ground
clearance and/or special
equipment. Always flatbed on a
car carrier.
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed.
See Roadside Assistance Program (U.S. and Canada) or Roadside Assistance Program (Mexico).
To tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational purposes, such as behind a motor home, see “Recreational Vehicle Towing” in this section.
