Dinghy Towing from the Rear

The vehicle was not designed to be
towed from the rear with all four
wheels on the ground.

Dolly Towing from the Front

Vehicles with front-wheel drive can
be dolly towed from the front.

Use the following procedure to dolly
tow the vehicle from the front:

1. Attach the dolly to the tow

vehicle following the dolly
manufacturer's instructions.

2. Drive the front wheels onto the

dolly.

3. Shift the automatic transmission

into P (Park) or a manual
transmission into 1 (First) gear.

4. Firmly set the parking brake.

5. Use an adequate clamping

device designed for towing to
ensure that the front wheels are
locked into the straight-ahead
position.

6. Secure the vehicle to the dolly

following the manufacturer's
instructions.

7. Release the parking brake only

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

8. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
