Emergency Towing - Acura 2004 NSX Owner's Manual

Main Menu Table of Contents
If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or
organization. Never tow your vehicle
behind another vehicle with just a
rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
There are three popular types of
professional towing equipment.
The operator
Flat-bed Equipment
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck. This is the only way your
NSX should be transported.
When you contact the towing agency,
inform them that you have an NSX
and that a flat-bed is required.
Wheel-Lift Equipment
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (front or rear) and lift
them off the ground. The other two
tires remain on the ground. Because
the NSX sits so low, the body could
come in contact with the ground and
be damaged.
This method of
towing is unacceptable.
Sling-type Equipment
truck uses metal cables with hooks
on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and
the cables lift that end of the vehicle
off the ground. Your vehicle's sus-
pension and body can be seriously
damaged.
This method of towing
The tow
is unacceptable.
