Towing

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. It is very dangerous to tow a vehicle with just a rope or chain.

Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle :

–	Flat-bed Towing The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck. This is the best way to transport the vehicle.

–	Wheel Lift Towing The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires of the driving axle and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.

–

Towing with slings

The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.

If the vehicle cannot be transported by the flat-bed towing, it should be towed with the wheels of the driving axle off the ground.
