Rear Towing - Chevrolet 1997 Corvette Owner's Manual

Rear Towing
NOTICE:
Do not tow with sling-type equipment or the rear
bumper will be damaged. Use wheel-lift or
car-carrier equipment. Additional ramping may
be required for car-carrier equipment. Use safety
chains and wheel straps. Use the shipping slots
for car-carrier securing. When using wheel-lift
equipment, a towing dolly must be used under
the front wheels. Rear tire-to-ground clearance
distance must be a minimum of 13 inches and a
maximum of 18 inches or damage will occur.
Towing a vehicle over rough surfaces could
damage the vehicle. Damage can occur from
vehicle to ground or vehicle to wheel-lift
equipment. Install a towing dolly and raise the
vehicle until adequate clearance is obtained
between the ground and/or wheel-lift equipment.
