equipment recommendations.

towed.
Dinghy Towing
The vehicle may be dinghy towed
from the front. The vehicle can also
be towed on a platform trailer with
all four wheels off of the ground.
For vehicles being dinghy towed,
the vehicle should be run at the
beginning of each day and at each
RV fuel stop for about five minutes.

1. Position the vehicle that will be towed and secure it to the
towing vehicle.
2. Open the driver door.
3. With the vehicle off, press the brake pedal and press the
START/STOP button to start
the engine (the green indicator
light on the button will
illuminate).
4. Put the vehicle in N (Neutral).
5. Press the ENGINE START/ STOP button again. The
engine will stop, the DIC will display SHIFT TO PARK, and
the amber indicator light on the
switch illuminates. See

0135.

BCM 3. The START/STOP
button indicator lights will be
off. See Instrument Panel Fuse
Block 0253.
