vehicle a very short distance
at a walking pace. The tow
eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle
must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow
truck to transport a disabled
vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles,
if necessary.
If equipped, a tow eye may be
located near the spare tire or
emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle
from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may
have right or left-hand
threads. Use caution when
installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) and the electric
parking brake must be
released when loading the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.
If the 12-volt battery is dead
and/or electric parking brake
is not released, the vehicle
will not move. Try to jump
start the vehicle with a
known good 12-volt battery,
shift the car into N (Neutral),
and release the electric
parking brake. Refer to Jump
Starting - North America

If unsuccessful, the vehicle
will not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent vehicle damage.

the vehicle.
