276 Vehicle Care
Caution
Use 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.
Caution
Do not tow a vehicle with the front drive
wheels on the ground if one of the front
tires is a compact spare tire. Towing with
two different tire sizes on the front of
the vehicle can cause severe damage to
the transmission.
Dinghy Towing
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:1. Position the vehicle behind the tow vehicle, lining it up with the tow bar.
2. Leave the vehicle running. Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Connect the vehicle to the tow bar hardware.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Leave the transmission in N (Neutral) and turn the vehicle off. You may hear a
continuous chime, which is normal. 7. Open the hood and disconnect the
negative battery terminal. See Battery -
North America 0230 and
Jump Starting - North America 0272.
8. Cover the negative battery post with a non-conductive material to prevent any
contact with the negative battery
terminal.
Caution
If 113 km/h (70 mph) is exceeded while
towing the vehicle, it could be damaged.
Never exceed 113 km/h (70 mph) while
towing the vehicle.
To disconnect the towed vehicle: 1. Park on a level surface.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is off.
3. Remove any tape, glue, or excess material from the negative battery post.
4. Connect the battery. See Battery - North
America 0230.
5. Set the parking brake.
6. Disconnect the vehicle from the tow vehicle.
7. Release the parking brake.
