7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Using a flatbed truck
If your vehicle is transported by a
flatbed truck, it should be tied
down at the locations shown in the
illustration.
If you use chains or cables to tie
down your vehicle, the angles
shaded in black must be 45.
If you cannot tie down the vehicle
using the method above, use tire
strapping belts.
NOTICE
Using a flatbed truck
■
Do not overly tighten the tie downs or the vehicle may be damaged.
Emergency towing
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle's wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
