"Whenever possible, tow with the front wheels off the ground."

"Note:  If the off the ground wheels of the Audi 4000 quattro cannot rotate 
freely the tow truck driver must be instructed not to exceed 30mph nor a 
distance of 30 miles.  If the differential locks cannot be disengaged the 
vehicle mut be transported on a flat bed, otherwise serious vehicle damage 
will occur."
