When you call, tell the towing service:
• That your vehicle has rear-wheel drive.
• The make, model and year of your vehicle.
• Whether you can still move the shift lever.
• If there was an accident, what was damaged.
When the towing service arrives, let the tow
operator know that this manual contains towing
instructions. The operator may want to see them.
Here are specific towing instructions:
Towing Your Vehicle From the Front
(Front Wheels Off the Ground)
Before Towing
Block the rear wheels of the disabled vehicle. On
vehicles with air brakes, release the emergency
brake system by compressing the brake chamber
springs as outlined in this section. (This is to
prevent the possibility of the emergency brake
being applied during towing.)
On vehicles with hydraulic brakes, release the
parking brake fully by moving the lever to
the fully-released position.
Towing the Vehicle with the Front Bumper
Removed
1. Remove the front bumper.
2. Connect and lock the lift chains to the front
axle, outside of the spring anchor plates as
shown.
3. Connect the lift chains to the tow bar and
raise the tow bar until lift chain slack has
been taken up.
4. Raise the vehicle to the required height.
