TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

Provided the transmission is operable, tow only in NEU-

TRAL at speeds not exceeding 30 mph (48 km/h), for

distances of not more than 15 mi (24 km). Towing at more

than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for more than 15 mi (24 km),

can cause severe transmission damage. If the transmis-

sion is not operable, or the vehicle must be towed faster

than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than 15 mi (24 km),

remove the driveshaft or tow with all four wheels OFF

the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on

a flatbed, or with one end of the vehicle raised and the

other end on a towing dolly.
