HONDA 2007 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 288)

If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or
organization. Never tow your vehicle
with just a rope or chain. It is very
dangerous. If, due to damage, your vehicle must
be towed with the front wheels on
the ground, do this:
Release the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to neutral.
The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.
There are two ways to tow your
vehicle:
With the front wheels on the ground,
do not tow the vehicle more than
50
miles (80 km), and keep the speed
below
35 mph (55 km/h).
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front spoiler, remove it before
towing so it is not damaged.
The tow
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (front) and lift them
off the ground. The other two tires
remain on the ground.
Release the parking brake.
Start the engine.
Shift to D, then to N.
Turn off the engine.
Leave the ignition switch in the
ACCESSORY (I) position so the
steering wheel does not lock.
