Remove or secure loose or protruding objects from a damaged vehicle before towing. Refer to state and local rules and regulations before towing a vehicle.

- To avoid damage to the front fascia and grille, the use of a flat bed towing device is recommended. DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle from the front or the rear.
