Tow Truck Towing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki Equator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to support the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
- Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
- All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
- It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
- Always attach safety chains before towing.
- When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
- Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
