EV VEHICLE TOWING AND STORAGE
Towing Procedures
The preferred method is to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels suspended. If towed with the
rear wheels on the ground, the driveshaft must be removed between the traction motor and
rear axle.
CAUTION
Failure to remove the driveshaft or axle shafts prior to towing may result in damage to
the traction motor.
The Autocar E-ACTT vehicle may be towed a short distance to remove it from a roadway.
To guarantee oil supply in the traction motor, the ignition must be switched on and the range
selector in NEUTRAL (N). If the power cannot be supplied to the traction motor, do not tow
without removing the driveshaft or axle shafts.
NOTICE
