Refer to Towing Your Vehicle
Behind a Motorhome on page
176 for non-emergency towing
information.
If your vehicle needs to be towed,
call a professional towing service or,
if you belong to one, an organization
that provides roadside assistance.
Never tow your vehicle behind
another vehicle with just a rope or
chain. It is very dangerous.
NOTICE
Towing a 4W D CR-V with only two
tires on the ground will damage parts
of the 4W D system.It should be
transportedon a flat-bed truck or
trailer.
There are three popular types of
professional towing equipment.
Wheel Lift Equipment — The tow
truck uses two pivoting arms that go
under the tires (front or rear) and lift
them off the ground. The other two
tires remain on the ground.
Flat-bed Equipment — The operator
loads your vehicle on the back of a
truck. This is the only way to
transport your vehicle. Any other
method of towing will damage the
drive system. When you contact the
towing agency, inform them that a
flat-bed is required.
Never tow your vehicle with
wheel lift equipment.
Sling-type Equipment — The tow
truck uses metal cables with hooks
on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and
cables lift that end of the vehicle off
the ground. Your vehicle's
suspension and body can be
seriously damaged. This method of
towing your CR-V is unacceptable.

Identification Numbers
Your vehicle has several identifying
numbers located in various places.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is the 17-digit number your
Honda dealer uses to register your
vehicle for warranty purposes. It is
also necessary for licensing and
insuring your vehicle. The easiest
place to find the VIN is on a plate
fastened to the top of the dashboard.
You can see it by looking through
the windshield on the driver's side. It
is also on the Certification label at-
tached to the driver's doorjamb, and
is stamped on the engine com-
partment bulkhead. The VIN is also
provided in bar code on the
Certification label.
