Emergency Information

283

WARNING

Do not tow a vehicle backwards when
equipped with roof air fairings. The fair-
ings act as an air scoop and may break
off. Failure to follow this warning may
lead to personal injury and vehicle dam-
age.

WARNING

Vehicles with air fairings or large super-
structures are tall. Make sure that the
total height of the vehicle, when it is
raised up behind the wrecker, does not
exceed the maximum allowed height for
local underpasses. Failure to follow this
instruction may lead to personal injury
and vehicle damage.

The vehicle may now be towed. It is rec-
ommended that a wrecker with a lift bar is
used since the service brakes will not func-
tion. The system must be filled with air to
release the parking brake or follow the me-
chanical spring brake caging procedures on
page 285.

NOTE! The power steering does not func-
tion when towing a vehicle with a disabled
engine.
