Towing a Disabled Vehicle
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle is disabled, it may be towed
by a tow truck using one of the following
methods:
1) Tow the vehicle with two wheels lifted
by the tow truck and the other two
wheels on a towing dolly.
2) Use the appropriate towing method specified for your vehicle in the “Towing Your Vehicle (recreational towing)” section, but with the wheels lifted by the tow truck instead of on a towing dolly.
Be sure to carefully follow the specific instructions provided in the “Towing Your Vehicle (recreational towing)” section.
CAUTION:
If vehicle damage (such as steering
or drivetrain damage, inability to
operate free axle mechanism, etc.)
prevent normal use of the towing procedures
for your vehicle described in
the “Towing Your Vehicle (recreational
towing)” section, have your
vehicle towed with two wheels lifted
by the tow truck and the other two
wheels on a towing dolly.
