Is the proper towing equipment
going to be used? See your
dealer or trailering professional
for additional advice and
equipment recommendations.
.
Is the vehicle ready to be
towed? Just as preparing the
vehicle for a long trip, make sure
the vehicle is prepared to be
towed.
CautionUse of a shield mounted in front
of the vehicle grille could restrict
airflow and cause damage to the
transmission. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. If using a shield, only
use one that attaches to the
towing vehicle. Dinghy Towing
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the
front with all four wheels on the
ground:
1. Position the vehicle to tow and
then secure it to the towing
vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition on, and shift
the transmission to N (Neutral).
3. With the transmission in
N (Neutral), turn the ignition off.
4. To prevent the battery from
draining while the vehicle is
being towed, remove fuses
29 and 32 (Body Control Module) from the instrument
panel fuse block. See
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
0 261 . Remember to reinstall
the fuses once the destination
has been reached.
Dolly Towing (All-Wheel-Drive
Vehicles)
All-wheel-drive vehicles must not be
towed with two wheels on the
ground. To properly tow these
vehicles, they should be placed on
a platform trailer with all four wheels
off of the ground.
