The tow

truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (front or rear) and
lifts them off the ground. The other
two tires remain on the ground.
Because the S2000 sits so low, the
body could come in contact with the
ground and be damaged.

The tow

truck uses metal cables with hooks
on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and
the cables lift that end of the vehicle
off the ground. Your vehicle’s sus-
pension and body can be seriously
damaged.

If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or
organization. Never tow your vehicle
behind another vehicle with just a
rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

There are three popular types of
professional towing equipment.

The operator

loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck.

When you contact the towing agency,
inform them that you have an S2000
and that a flat-bed is required.
