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 car with
just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods
of towing a car:
Flat-Bed Equipment -
The
operator loads your car on the
back of a truck. This is the best
way of transporting your Honda.
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 wheels remain on
the ground.
Sling-Type Equipment -
The tow
truck uses metal cables 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.
Your car's suspension and body
can be seriously damaged if this
method of towing is attempted.
If your Honda cannot be trans-
ported by a flat-bed truck, it
should be towed with the front
wheels off the ground. If, due to
damage, your car must be towed
with the front wheels on the
ground, do the following:
5-Speed Manual Transmission
Release the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to
Neutral.
Automatic Transmission
Release the parking brake.
Start the engine.
Shift to D4, then to N.
Turn off the engine.
Improper towing preparation will
damage the transmission. Follow
the above procedure exactly. If
you cannot shift the transmission
or start the engine (automatic
transmission), your car must be
transported on a flat-bed.
It is best to tow the car no
farther than 50 miles (80 km),
and keep the speed below
35 mph (55 km/h).
Trying to lift or tow your car by
the bumpers will cause serious
damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the car's
weight.
