U‘l’lOR’
A
vehicle 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.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
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
transmission
and
transfer
case,
if
you
have one, should
be
in
NEUTRAL
(N)
and the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed
on
the drive wheels
unless
you
must.
If
the
vehicle
&ust
be
towed
on
the
drive wheels, be sure to
follow
any
speed
and
distance
restrictions later
in
this
section,
or
your
transmission
will
be
damaged.
If
these
limitations
must
be
exceeded,
then the drive wheels have
to
be supported
on
a dolly.
