Securing the Vehicle for Transportation

Securing the Vehicle for Transportation

When the vehicle is in position on the transporter or trailer, use chocks and tie-down straps to secure the wheels. The rear of the vehicle should be secured using tie-down straps around the lower control arms.

To avoid damage:

  • Ensure that metal parts on tie-down straps do not contact the vehicle’s painted surfaces or the face of any wheels.

    Note: If wheel covers are installed, they must be removed before using wheel straps.

  • Do not place straps over or through the vehicle’s body panels.

CAUTION: Attaching tie-down straps should only be used on the lower control arms in a towing scenario.
