Vehicle Care

Dinghy Towing (With

Automatic Transmission)

Notice:

If the vehicle is towed

with all four wheels on the
ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground.

Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should not be towed
with all four wheels on the ground.

If the vehicle must be towed, a dolly
should be used. See "Dolly Towing"
that follows for more information.

Dinghy Towing (With

Manual Transmission)

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.

2. Shift the transmission into

1 (First) gear and turn the
engine off.

3. Set the parking brake.

When towing the vehicle for
