Towing - Porsche 911 Carrera Owner's Manual

Towing

General information
Certain state statutes and local ordinances prohibit
towing with a chain, rope or even a tow bar. In
addition, damage to your vehicle may result from
improper procedures. Consult your authorized
Porsche dealer for details.
Vehicle towing
Flat bed towing is the preferred type of towing
to be used on Porsche vehicles. Under certain
circumstances, wheel lifts may be used when the
vehicle will not roll. The vehicle must be towed
with all four wheels off the ground, otherwise
damage to the vehicle may result.
Towing hook
The towing hook A is stored in the tool box in the
luggage compartment.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the vehicle.
Use the towing hook only for an emergency to
remove the vehicle off the road. The towing
hook is to be used only to pull the vehicle onto
the flat bed, tractor or towing apparatus if the
vehicle will roll freely. Under no circumstances
is the vehicle to be secured using the towing
hook.
Never use the towing hook to tow this or any
other vehicle.
Bear in mind the limited ground clearance of
your car on uneven surfaces.
