Towing
If the car needs to be towed, call a professional towing
service. Never tow the car behind another car with just
a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
There are three widely used methods of towing a car:
Flat-bed Equipment The operator loads the car on the
back of a truck. This is the only recommended way of
towing the NSX.
Wheel Lift Equipment The tow truck driver uses two
pivoting arms which go under the tires (front or rear)
and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels re-
main on the ground. This towing method is not recom-
mended. Because of the
low ground clearance,
the body can be damaged going over large bumps or up
inclines.-’
Bling-type Equipment The tow truck uses metal
chains with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and the cables lift that
end of the car off the ground. Damage to the car’s
suspension and body is almost certain if this method of
towing is attempted.
If the NSX cannot be towed by flat-bed, it should be
towed with the rear wheels off the ground. If, due to
damage, the car must be towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, do the following:
Release the parking brake.
Shift the 5-speed transmission to Neutral.
If the car has an automatic transmission, start the
engine. Shift the transmission to Drive, then into
Neutral, then shut off the engine.
It is best to tow the car no farther than 50 miles, and
keep the speed below 35 mph.
NOTICE:
Improper towing preparation will damage the
transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly.
The car must be towed on a flat bed if the engine will
not start or the transmission will not shift.
Trying to lift or tow the car by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not design-
ed to support the car’s weight.
