2020 Acura TLX Owners Manual - Emergency Towing



Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

All models

Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

2WD models

Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Notice

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission.

Notice
2WD models - Make sure the parking brake is released. If you cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must be transported by the flat bed equipment.
