How to Tow a Buick Excelle from the Rear?
2 Answers
Use a screwdriver to remove the rear cover of the Buick Excelle, where the towing hook is stored along with the vehicle tools. Turn on the ignition to release the steering wheel lock, shift the transmission into neutral, and release the parking brake to allow the vehicle to roll freely. Afterward, screw in the towing hook to the maximum extent, connect the towing rod to the towing hook, and proceed with towing. After towing, unscrew the towing hook, insert the cover, and secure it tightly. The vehicle must be towed slowly in a forward direction, avoiding excessive force to prevent damage from high towing tension.
At the auto repair shop, I often help tow Buick Excelle for car owners. First, you need to locate a small cover under the rear bumper, pry it open, and you'll see the towing eye. Hook the tow rope onto it and secure it properly, but avoid using overly stiff ropes as they can scratch the paint. When towing, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine. For automatic transmissions, shift to N (neutral), and for manual transmissions, shift to neutral. Keep the speed below 20 mph and tow slowly without sudden braking. Additionally, check the brake lights to ensure the following vehicle can see them clearly for safety. The Buick Excelle has a modern design with a standard towing eye position, and this method applies to most models. If the road is wet or slippery, remember to turn on the hazard lights to warn others and increase the safe distance. During regular maintenance, inspect the towing eye for any rust to avoid problems in critical moments.
