Vehicle Care

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. Reinstall
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 15 amp
ECM fuse and the 15 amp
Onstar fuse. These are in the
battery compartment behind the
passenger seat on the floor.
Also, remove the 50 amp BATT1
fuse from the underhood fuse
block and store all fuses in a
safe location. See

Engine

Compartment Fuse Block on
page 10-28

.

7. Release the parking brake.

{

Caution

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.

{

Caution

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.

Once the destination is reached:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Reinstall the fuses.

3. Shift the transmission to

P (Park), turn the ignition to
LOCK/OFF and remove the key
from the ignition.

4. Disconnect the vehicle from 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
