Before you do anything, turn on the hazard warning
flashers (if they have not been damaged).

When you call, tell the towing service:
D That your vehicle has rear

-

wheel drive.

D The make, model and year of your vehicle.
D Whether you can still move the shift lever.
D If there was an accident, what was damaged.
When the towing service arrives, let the tow operator
know that this manual contains towing instructions. 
The operator may want to see them.

Here are specific towing instructions:

Towing Your Vehicle From the Front 
(Front Wheels Off the Ground)

Before Towing

Block the rear wheels of the disabled vehicle. On
vehicles with air brakes, release the emergency brake
system by compressing the brake chamber springs 
as outlined in this section. (This is to prevent the
possibility of the emergency brake being applied 
during towing.)

On vehicles with hydraulic brakes without an
electric/hydraulic parking brake, release the 
parking brake fully by moving the lever to the
fully

-

released position.

On vehicles equipped with an electric/hydraulic parking
brake option, remove the propshaft.
