Vehicle Care

.

What is the distance that will be
travelled? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.

.

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.

Dinghy Towing from the Front

When dinghy towing, 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.

Use the following procedure to
dinghy tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:

1. Position the vehicle being towed

behind the tow vehicle and shift
the transmission to P (Park).

2. Turn the engine off and firmly set

the parking brake.

3. Following the manufacturer's

instructions, securely attach the
vehicle being towed to the tow
vehicle.

4. Turn the ignition to ACC/

ACCESSORY and shift the
transmission to N (Neutral).

5. Release the parking brake only

after the vehicle being towed is
firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.

When towing the vehicle for
extended periods of time, start
the vehicle as often as possible to
prevent battery drain. This should
be done when the tow vehicle is
parked.
