Towing the Vehicle

Notice:

Incorrectly towing a

disabled vehicle may cause
damage. The damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.

Have the vehicle towed on a wheel
lift tow truck. A flatbed car carrier
could damage the vehicle. The
wheel lift tow truck must raise the
rear of the vehicle and wheel dollies
must be used to lift the front wheels
off the ground.

Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.

To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see

Recreational Vehicle Towing

in this

section.

Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle such as a motor home. The
two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are
known as dinghy towing and dolly
towing. Dinghy towing is towing the
vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground. Dolly towing is towing the
vehicle with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels up on a
device known as a dolly.

Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:

.

What is the towing capacity of
the towing vehicle? Be sure to
read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's
recommendations.

.

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