This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.

Dodge Charger. TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
