If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing
service. Never tow vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle :

The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck.
This is best way of transporting the vehicle.

- |
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under
the tires of the driving axle and lift them off the ground. The other
two wheels remain on the ground.
|
- |
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 vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension
and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted.
