the
cable at least
18
inches
(45

the
dead battery,
but not near engine parts that move. The electrical connection
is
just
as
good there, but the chance
of
sparks getting back to the battery
is
much
less.

Towing
Your
Vehicle
Try
to
have your
GM
dealer or a professional towing service tow your
vehicle. They can provide the right equipment and know how
to
tow it
without damage.
If your vehicle has been changed since
it
was factory-new, by adding such
things like fog lamps, aero skirting, or special tires and wheels, these things
could
be
damaged during towing.
Before
you
do anything, turn
on
the hazard warning flashers.
When you call,
tell
the towing service:
That your vehicle has rear-wheel drive, or that it has the four-wheel
drive option.
The
make, model, and year
of
your vehicle.
