Can you tow an automatic that breaks down?

You can tow it, just shift the gears to N. It's nothing to the car. That's because the steering assistant doesn't work, in fact, the car goes up you can beat it, and you can beat the steering if it's dead hard.

Trailers are best towed with a tow bar, which is something hard and has some safety protection to prevent two cars from colliding. And with a tow rope is not so good, the speed of the trailer can not be too fast. It is best to control at 20~30 kilometers per hour.

Automatic cars, it is recommended not to tow. Automatic cars, under certain conditions can be towed, but can not tow other vehicles, because it is easy to damage the transmission.
