Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle
towed. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 408.
Releasing Air-Operated Parking Brakes
If your vehicle has air brakes, you could have a
special towing problem. If your vehicle has to
be towed because of a complete loss of air
pressure from both systems, the parking brakes
will have automatically engaged. The tow operator
can release the brakes manually by using the
following steps. Then your vehicle can be towed
with all wheels or only the rear wheels on the
ground.
1. Block the wheels of the vehicle.
2. Remove the release stud and nut from the
side of the brake chamber. Some chambers
have studs which are visible at all times.
