Towing a vehicle to start could be dangerous. The vehicle being

towed could surge forward when the engine starts, causing the

tow vehicles to collide, injuring the occupants.

Modern vehicles with electronic management systems should

not be jump started without ‘protected’ jump starter leads.

Towing equipment are of two types.

• Flat-bed equipment - Your vehicle is loaded on the back of a

truck. This is the safest and best way of towing.

• Rear-lift equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that

go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground.

The other two tires remain on the ground.

• Sling-type equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with

hooks on both ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame

or suspension and lift the end of the vehicle off the ground. This

is not a good method of towing as it may damage the vehicle's

suspension and body. Avoid a tow with sling type equipment
