Emergency Towing
If your car needs to be towed, call a
professional towing service or, if you
belong to one, an organization that
provides roadside assistance. Never
tow your car behind another vehicle
with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.
There are three popular types of
professional towing equipment.
Flat-bed Equipment — The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.
This is the only way your
NSX should be transported.
When you contact the towing agency,
inform them that you have an NSX
and that a flat-bed is required.
Wheel-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. Because
the NSX sits so low, the body could
come in contact with the ground and
be damaged.
This method of
towing is unacceptable.
