Automatic transmissions do not all have the same towing requirements. Selector position, the parking brake and electrical power can also affect loading. Describe what is locked and give the exact model. The professional selects a method using the manual and suitable equipment.
Information to prepare
- Give the make, model, year and transmission.
- State the displayed selector position.
- Say whether the parking brake is electronic.
- Describe any slope and access to the wheels.
What to watch for
Do not force the selector or use an emergency release without suitable assistance. Neutral alone does not guarantee towing is permitted.
