VEHICLE CARE 347
Caution (Continued)
for off-road recovery. The vehicle
must be in N (Neutral) with the
electric parking brake released
when using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing service
if the disabled vehicle must be
transported. GM recommends a
flatbed tow truck to transport a
disabled vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles, if necessar y.
If equipped, a tow eye may be located
near the spare tire or emergency jack.
Do not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may have
right or left-hand threads. Use caution
when installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in N (Neutral)
and the electronic parking brake must
be released when loading the vehicle
onto a flatbed tow truck.
.
If the vehicle is equipped with car
wash mode and has 12-volt batter y
power, refer to “Car Wash Mode”
under Automatic Transmission
(Mechanical Shifter) 0 225 or
Automatic Transmission (Electronic
Shifter) 0 227 to place the vehicle in
N (Neutral).
.
If the 12-volt battery is dead and/or
the engine will not start, the vehicle
will not move. Try to jump start the
vehicle. Refer to Jump Starting 0 342
and if the jump start is successful,
retry the “Car Wash Mode”
procedure.
.
If jump starting is unsuccessful, the
vehicle will not move. Tire skates or
dollies must be used under the
non-rolling tires to prevent vehicle
damage.
V-Series Blackwing Only
Due to low ramp angles on the
V-Series Blackwing, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier. Front spring spacers were
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
