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.
