Vehicle Care

Dinghy Towing

If the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, it
can be dinghy towed from the front.
These vehicles may also be towed
by putting the front wheels on a
dolly. See

Dolly Towing

later in this

section.

If the vehicle is all-wheel-drive, it
can be dinghy towed from the front.
These vehicles can also be towed
by placing them on a platform trailer
with all four wheels off of the
ground. These vehicles cannot be
towed using a dolly.

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.
This will ensure proper lubrication of
transmission components. Re-install
the fuse to start the vehicle.

To tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:

1. Position the vehicle to be towed,

shift the transmission to
P (Park), and turn the ignition to
LOCK/OFF.

2. Secure the vehicle to the towing

vehicle.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Turn the ignition to ACC/

ACCESSORY.

5. Shift the transmission to

N (Neutral).

6. To prevent the battery from

draining while the vehicle is
being towed, remove the 50 amp
BATT1 fuse from the underhood
fuse block and store in a safe
location. See

Engine

Compartment Fuse Block on
page 10

31

.

7. Release the parking brake.

Notice:

If the vehicle is towed

without performing each of the
steps listed under

Dinghy

Towing,

the automatic

transmission could be damaged.
Be sure to follow all steps of the
dinghy towing procedure prior to
and after towing the vehicle.

Notice:

If 105 km/h (65 mph) is

exceeded while towing the
vehicle, it could be damaged.
Never exceed 105 km/h (65 mph)
while towing the vehicle.
