* Towing method: Most automatic cars can be towed on a flatbed tow truck. This is the safest and most common method for towing automatic vehicles.
* Towing with wheels on the ground: In some cases, an automatic car can be towed with its wheels on the ground, but only if the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is disengaged. This method is not recommended for long distances or if the car has any mechanical issues.
* Towing with the transmission in neutral: NEVER tow an automatic car with the transmission in neutral if the engine is not running. This can damage the transmission.
Important considerations:
* Check the owner's manual: The owner's manual for your specific car will have detailed information about towing procedures and restrictions.
* Consult a professional: If you are unsure about how to tow your car safely, it's best to consult with a professional tow truck operator.
Overall, it's generally safe to tow an automatic car, but it's important to use the correct towing method and follow the instructions in your owner's manual.
