Owners of cars equipped with an automatic transmission, in cases of malfunctions that exclude further independent movement, often ask themselves the question: how to tow the car to the place of repair?
It is necessary
tractor or tow truck
Instructions
Step 1
You can hear a lot of advice on this matter.
Some argue that there is a certain "golden rule": "50 to 50", which states that a faulty car with an automatic transmission can be towed at a speed not exceeding 50 km / h, and at a distance of no more than 50 kilometers.
Step 2
Other "experts" claim that when towing such a car at a low speed (up to 20 km / h), nothing bad will happen to it. And everyone who does not agree with this opinion - in cars, they do not understand anything.
Step 3
In fact, if there is no more than one kilometer to the technical assistance station, then a faulty car with an automatic transmission, which has lost the ability to move independently, can be towed there using a cable. But this is, as a last resort, and only when there is a desperate situation.
Step 4
In all other cases, towing of vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission is allowed by full or partial loading, excluding the rotation of the driving wheels, for example, by loading onto a tow truck. Otherwise, the owner of an overhaul of an automatic transmission cannot be avoided.
