Towing
(a). Towing with a wheel-lift tow
truck

the parking brake
NOTICE
y When lifting up the front or rear
wheels, make sure there is
sufficient ground clearance on
the opposite end. Otherwise, the
bumper or bottom of the vehicle
may be damaged in towing.
Towing from the rear – put the
front wheels on a tow dolly.
(b) Using a flat-bed tow truck
NOTICE
y If your vehicle is equipped with
an automatic transmission, don't
tow it from the rear end with the
front wheels staying on the
ground. Otherwise severe
automatic transmission damage
will occur.
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by a BYD service
station or a commercial tow truck
operator. When consulting about the
towing service, please inform that the
vehicle must be towed using (a) or (b)
method.
When professional towing service is
not available, carefully follow the
instructions in “Emergency Towing” to
tow the vehicle.
Using proper equipment in towing can
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Commercial towing operators are
generally aware of the applicable laws
and regulations on towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged in
appropriate towing. Even a
professional operator who knows the
correct towing procedure could make
a mistake sometimes. To avoid
damage to the vehicle, make sure the
precautions below are followed. If
necessary, show this page to the tow
truck driver.
