Having your car towed
Your car can be towed short distances, such as onto a recovery vehicle, if necessary.
Important
- You should only tow your car short distances, such as to the side of the road or onto a recovery vehicle. Towing your car longer distances can damage the car by causing the battery to charge incorrectly.
- To avoid accidentally triggering the alarm, reduce your car's alarm sensitivity before towing it.
The towing eye can be used to pull your car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.
Important
Your car should not be towed if it's in safety mode.
Location and ground clearance should also be considered when determining if it can be towed onto a tow truck.
- Tow your car onto a recovery vehicle or to a safe place, such as the side of the road.
- When the car is in the necessary place, engage the parking brake.
- If necessary, remove the towing eye and winch wire.Always use a recovery vehicle to transport the car whenever it cannot be driven. Forced wheel rotation during transportation can severely damage your car. Make sure the car is only transported by a recovery vehicle such as a flatbed, so that the car's wheels do not touch the ground while being transported.
