Preparatory Steps

 CAUTION: The Cobra vehicle cannot be towed using slings, J or T-hooks. It can only be towed using wheel lift or car carrier equipment with safety chains and wheel straps.

Release the parking brake and place transmission in NEUTRAL. As a general rule, vehicles should be towed with the driving wheels off the ground. If the vehicle is to be towed on its drive wheels, the transmission and differential must be operable. If not, place the wheels on a dolly or disconnect the driveshaft.

When a vehicle is towed on its front wheels, the steering wheel must be clamped in the straight ahead position with a steering wheel clamping device designed for towing service use, such as those provided by towing system manufacturers.

Do not use the vehicle's steering column lock to lock the wheels in a straight ahead position when pulled from the rear. If the ignition key is not available, place a dolly underneath the driving wheels of the vehicle and tow with the non-driving wheels raised.
