Emergency Towing
If your car needs to he 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 car on the back of a
truck.
This is the best way to
transport 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 tires remain on the ground.
This is an acceptable way to tow
your Honda.
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.
This method of towing is
unacceptable.
If your Honda cannot be transported
by flat-bed, it should be towed by
wheel-lift equipment with the front
wheels off the ground. If, due to
damage, your ear must be towed
with the front wheels on the ground,
do the following.
5-specd Manual Transmission
Release the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to Neutral.
Automatic Transmission
Release the parking brake.
Start the engine.
Shift to D
4
, 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 with the front wheels
off the ground.
With the front wheels on the
ground, it is best to tow the car
no farther than 50 miles (80 km),
and keep the speed below 35 mph
(55 km/h).
