professional for additional advice
and equipment
recommendations.

.

If the vehicle is ready to be
towed. Just as preparing the
vehicle for a long trip, make sure
the vehicle is prepared to be
towed.

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.

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 the information on 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. 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
