To tow a car
by lifting the front, you have to have something to hook onto. In the old days there was a metal bumper attached to the frame...all steel...and out in front of everything. Not any more.
The towing lift mechanism also has to clear all the fragile components (think radiators and all that) and the cosmetic ones (like bumpers and the bumper support structure).
The AAA guide Mike refers to isn't just Porsche's advice, AAA doesn't want to pay damages when one of their contractors does it wrong so they publish these guides.
Ignore at your own risk.
I too carry a printout in my cubby. So far it has warded off the evils.
