Precautions for moving your vehicle a short distance with a tow hook to prepare for towing

When moving your vehicle for loading onto a towing truck or repositioning it for towing, drive at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less over a distance of 32 ft (10 m) or less.

In this situation, shift your vehicle’s gear to N (Neutral) and disengage the parking brake. When the transmission or parking brake is not functioning, ensure that all wheels of your vehicle are elevated using a tow dolly or tire skates.
