call a professional towing service or
an organization. Never tow your
vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is
very dangerous.
There are two ways to tow your
vehicle.
The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.

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.

be towed with the front wheels on
the ground, do the following:
Release the parking brake.

Start the engine.
Shift to D, then to N.
