Car Carrier Loading - Honda Acura NSX 2017 Towing And Road Service Manual

CAR CARRIER LOADING AND TRANSPORTING:
Special Precautions:
• Car carrier equipment is the only method the manufacturer provides for loading and transporting this
vehicle. Using other towing equipment will result in possible damage to the vehicle.
This vehicle has a low profile. Ramping and extreme care must be used to avoid damage to the front
•
and rear lower panels. The front diffuser is easily damaged, so all contact should be avoided when
loading and unloading.
• When loading or winching, DO NOT USE HOOKS OF ANY TYPE ON THE LOWER CONTROL
ARMS OR ANY OTHER STEERING OR SUSPENSION COMPONENT. Carefully follow the
loading procedures specified on the following pages.
• USE ONLY WHEEL STRAP TIE-DOWNS to secure this vehicle when transporting. The use of
chains or hooks will damage under-vehicle components. Straps through the wheels may result in
damage.
• There is NOT an override provision to get the transmission into Neutral should there be a failure in
the system. When 12 volt battery power cannot be restored to the vehicle, the front wheels will roll
freely and rear wheels will remain locked.
• In an emergency situation where the vehicle will not roll or must be moved for towing access,
wheel-jacking equipment, such as GoJaks or tire skates are recommended. Liquid soap should be
used to help reduce traction if skates are needed to move the vehicle.
