Chevrolet MONTE CARLO 1998 Manual page 190

A wnicle can fall from a car carrier if it isn't
adequately secured. This can cause a collision,
serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The
vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or
steel cables before it is transported.
Don't use substitutes (ropes, leather straps,
canvas webbing, etc.) that can be cut by sharp
edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use
T-hooks inserted in the T-hook slots. Never use
J-hooks. They will damage drivetrain and
suspension components.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition
turned to the
OFF
position. The steering wheel should
be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping
device designed for towing service. Do not use the
vehicle's steering column lock for this. The transaxle
should be in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking
brake released.
NOTICE:
Don't have your vehicle towed on the drive
wheels, unless you must. If the vehicle must be
towed on the drive wheels, do not tow the vehicle
more than 500 cumulative miles (800 km) or
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Cumulative miles are
defined
as
total miles over the life
of
the vehicle.
For
example, your vehicle cannot be towed
500 miles (800 km) each day of a trip totaling
3,000 miles (4800 km). If these limitations must
be exceeded, then the drive wheels have to be
supported on a dolly.
