Towing Rules
Turn on the ignition so that the wheel does not lock up, the brake lights, horns and windshield wipers work.
For manual transmissions, set to neutral, for automatic transmissions, select range N.
Turn on the hazard warning lights on both vehicles.
Since the brake and steering boosters only work when the engine is running, much more effort must be applied to the brake pedal and steering wheel on a car with the engine off.
Rigid towing is recommended. Rope towing is much more dangerous. If there is no rigid hitch, then use elastic cables or cables with elastic inserts.
