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 .
To tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational purposes, such as behind a motor home, see“Recreational Vehicle Towing” in this section.
