Recovery
Recovery means that the vehicle is transpor-
ted away by means of another vehicle.
Call a recovery service for recovery assis-
tance.
The towing eye may be used to pull the car
up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form. The car's position and ground clear-
ance determine whether it is possible. If the
slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too
steep, or if the ground clearance under the
car is inadequate, then the car may be dam-
aged if you try to pull it up using the towing
eye. Raise the car using the recovery vehi-
cle's lifting device if necessary.
