When you call, tell the towing service:
•
That your vehicle has rear-wheel drive.
•
The make, model and year of your vehicle.
•
Whether you can still move the shift lever.
•
If there was an accident, what was damaged.
When the towing service arrives, let the tow operator
know that this manual contains towing instructions.
The operator may want to see them.
Here are specific towing instructions:
Towing Your Vehicle From the Front
(Front Wheels Off the Ground)
Before Towing
Block the rear wheels of the disabled vehicle. On vehicles
with air brakes, release the emergency brake system by
compressing the brake chamber springs as outlined in
this section. (This is to prevent the possibility of the
emergency brake being applied during towing.)
On vehicles with hydraulic brakes, release the parking
brake fully by moving the lever to the fully-released
position.
