If emergency towing is necessary, we recommend having it done by an authorized EQUUS dealer or a commercial tow-truck service. Proper lifting and towing procedures are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the rear wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or the vehicle is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow truck and wheel dollies are not used, the rear of the vehicle should always be lifted, not the front.
✽ NOTICE
When you tow the vehicle as the picture (A), the cable should be secured to the vehicle towing hook (1) as the picture. If you use chains or cables to tie down your vehicle, the angle (2) must be 45°. Do not overly tighten the tie downs or the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION
When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies :
1.Set the Engine Start/Stop Button in the ACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral) may cause internal damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction indicator illuminates when there is no air in the suspension, the vehicle height will be very low, so do not drive the vehicle to protect it from projections on the ground. Take your vehicle to an authorized EQUUS dealer by towing the vehicle and have the system checked. You should tow the vehicle as shown the picture.
When you load the vehicle onto the tow truck, the loading angle(1) should be smaller than 6°.
